Call your surgeon: I would call your surgeon right away. It depends on how close you are to your original surgery. If it has only been a few days, these could be signs and/or symptoms of potentially serious medical conditions related to the surgery such as a cystic duct stump leak, a retained common duct stone. Get seen by your surgeon ASAP.
