A member asked:

I had my gallbladder removed 5 months ago , i have that crampy feeling in my side like i did before surgery , why ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Something else: Maybe your gallbladder was not the cause of your symptoms. Maybe you have something else like gastritis. Maybe fatty foods disagree with you now after the surgery. See your doctor for an evaluation.
