A member asked:

Still possible to pass a gallbladder stone after you have had your gall bladder removed?

A gall stone: Gall stones can form in the bile ducts, after removal of gall bladder and such stones may pass through the biliary tract. While not "gallbladder" stones as there is no gall bladder, stones in the biliary system are similar.

Postcholecystectomy: Postcholecystectomy syndrome refers to recurrent biliary pain after cholecystectomy. One reason for this is that you may have never had cholecystitis to begin with. The most common causes for recurrent pain are residual or recurrent stones. Inflammatory stricture is less common. Sphincter of oddi dysfunction is also a possibility.
