“I had my gallbladder out in 2002, and had the same problems as most of you. But I will tell you that every once in awhile, could be once a year, or a couple times a year, I get a terrible pain right around my lower right rib area, there is no way to relieve this pain, but thankfully it only lasts up to 20 minutes or less. I will break out in a terrible sweat, and once the pain subsides I will start belching, and then I will feel normal.
I went to the Dr. regarding this, and she said that there are still gallstones in me, and when I get this pain, one of the gallstones (like a grain of sand) gets in the bile duct and this is what is causing this unbearable pain. She said I will just have to live with it.
Does anyone else experience this?
I wish I never got my gallbladder out, I have to live with constant digestive issues, and its not much better then when I had my gallbladder.”
