A member asked:

My gallbladder was removed 2 years ago, and i am still having major, major pain on the right mid side of my stomach. help me know what is wrong.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Plz C GI Doctor: Postcholecystectomy syndrome is the persistence or return of RUQ abd pain following gallbladder removal. This is due to non-biliary causes (irritable bowel, ulcer dz, gerd, etc), organic biliary dz (common duct stones/stricture/cancer), or functional biliary disease (sphincter of oddi dysfunction). I advise GI work up to include labs, ultrasound+/-ercp, depending on above results.
