Pain Post Gallbladder Surgery

Pain Post Gallbladder Surgery

I am a 32 year old male.  I started back 2 months ago having pain in my side/back- not as much in the front right around the rib cage.  I had some loose stools that looked a little oily/yellowish.  I went to Dr's and they ran urine screens, CBC, EKG, liver/pancreas enzymes, ultrasound on liver, pancreas, gallbladder, kidney, and bladder.  They also did X-rays on chest and lower adominal (abdominal).  The only thing they found was slight sludge in gallbladder.  They removed it 3 weeks ago.  I am having just as bad a pain post surgery and more loose oily/yellowish stools.  Some have been frim lighter brown or green.  I was curious what you thought could be causing this issue.  
I am overweight 6 ft 295 lbs.  I have not had any weight loss.  I have not had any naseau and I still have a pretty good apetite.  Nothing is sore to the touch.

Thanks

Jason

When physicians look for reasons for pain in the side with oily/yellowish stools, rine screens, CBC, EKG, liver/pancreas enzymes, ultrasound on liver, pancreas, gallbladder, kidney, bladder, X-rays on chest and lower adominal (abdominal) are all helpful.  Slight sludge in gallbladder can lead to clogging, and it can help to remove it.  Many reasons can cause pain in the side, and things to look into would be the common bile duct, muscles, and lung.
