Have bloating and ongoing pain on right side rib area even after my gall bladder removal... dr can't find cause of pain

You are most welcome. I hope you get an answer soon!

Hi Marisol!

Thanks for your question, I'm sorry you're suffering from these symptoms still.

I cannot diagnose you since I am not a doctor, however, it sounds like you may have Postcholecystectomy Syndrome.
PCS describes the presence of abdominal symptoms after surgical removal of the gallbladder (Cholecystectomy).

Symptoms of postcholecystectomy syndrome may include:
Upset stomach, nausea, and vomiting.
Gas, bloating, and diarrhea.
Persistent pain in the upper right abdomen

Symptoms occur in about 5 to 40 percent of patients who undergo cholycystectomy.
The pain associated with post-cholecystectomy syndrome is usually ascribed to either sphincter of Oddi dysfunction or to post-surgical adhesions. Approximately 50% of cases are due to biliary causes such as remaining stone, biliary injury, dysmotility and choledococyst. The remaining 50% are due to non-biliary causes. This is because upper abdominal pain and gallstones are both common but are not always related.

Please seek another opinion to determine if this could possibly be the cause and keep us posted!
