A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pain and Lapchole: You probably have postcholecystectomy syndrome that describes the presence of abdominal symptoms after surgical removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy), 1-2 years after the surgery. Symptoms of postcholecystectomy syndrome may include: dyspepsia, nausea, and vomiting. flatulence, bloating, and diarrhea.
