A member asked:
Developed reflux symptoms after cholecystectomy. could the les become weaken/stop working due to a disturbed vagus nerve after gallbladder removal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible, but not: likely. More likely explanation is alkaline reflux. It is not unusual to take up to 2 or 3 months for your system to get accustomed to absence of storage capacity of gallbladder. If symptoms persist beyond this time, go back to your doctor for advice.
