A member asked:
Why do people still have attacks similar to gallbladder attacks after the gallbladder has been removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gallbladder ghost: Because sometimes the pain was not from the gallbladder originally so the pain recurs; ie from the stomach also the biliary spasm can occur without a gallbladder lastly there can be retained gallstones in the tubing.
