JUST WONDERING

I HAD MY GALL BLADDER TAKEN OUT ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO.  NO PROBLEMS UNTIL A MONTH AGO, AND NOW I AM HAVING SYMPTOMS AND ASSOCIATED PAIN THAT I FEEL AS IF I WAS HAVING BEFORE I HAD MY SURGERY!  IS IT POSSIBLE TO STILL GET GALLSTONES OR SLEDGE EVEN IF YOU DONT HAVE A GALL BLADDER?

Hi,
You could still have pain following gallbladder removal.
It is called post cholecystectomy syndrome.
The commonest cause being stones in the common bile duct.
In your case as the interval is nearly three years, the pain could be due to other causes also.
