A member asked:

I had my gallbladder removed today, 7-28-14. immediately after surgery i have alot of pain in my lower left side, is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Gallbladder: You should not have pain beyond the incision site(s). If you do, then your surgeon should evaluate you to make sure there is nothing else going on
