Does your GI know?: there are a number of possibilities. with your age and medical conditions, sphincter of Oddi dysfunction is most likely - but could also still be gallstones (now just in the biliary tree) or smth in your stomach (heartburn, gastritis, etc). Too frequently are the gallbladders taken out for pain when it never was that to begin with...

RUQ pain : It is possible you may have recurrent stones in the cystic duct . Go back to Gastroenterologist or your surgeon to arrange for an ERCP procedure . You also could have scarring in the cystic duct as a result of the surgery calked Stenosis . This can be stretched by the ERCP procedure . Take care .
