The list is long: The most frequently removed organ by general surgeons in the us is the gallbladder. Pain that persists or returns can happen. With gallstones, one might have escaped into your bile duct, causing pain. An ultrasound for duct size would be helpful. Ulcers and gastritis, . Irritable bowel, sphincter dysfunction can all mimic gallbladder trouble but don't get better start anew and see your doctor.
