They are typical changes following cholecystectomy, in your case described as surgical clips with no conceivable correlation with your symptoms, likely respiratory?

The clips are small staples that are used during the removal of the gallbladder. It is normal to see those after a gallbladder removal. It is of no concern. Good luck.
