A member asked:
Is it normal to have pain/discomfort while deep breathing on right rib under breast 2 weeks after gall bladder surgery?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, two weeks is still early in your recovery and the pain is in the area where the gallbladder was. Deep breathing will push the diaphragm against the surgical area where it still may be sensitive. However, this should generally be getting better day to day.

No it is not. If it persists or gets worse see your surgeon .
