Hi I was wondering if you could provide info on attacks similar to gallbadder
I had my gallbladder removed 6 mo ago lapo and I have been sick ever since. I am
having an ERCP in a few days to check things out. Seems as though
symptoms are worse since the surgery and comments would be appreciated. Sarah

Dear Sarah,
Our archives are filled with postinngs from people who had their gall bladders removed for abdominal pain and had persistence of pain after surgery. Under these circunstances it is necessry to exclude common bile duct stones, and hence the ERCP.  Other conditions unrelated to the gall bladder must also be considered e.g. ulcers, gastroparesis, irritable bowel syndrome.
This information is presented for educational purposes only.  Ask specific questiosn to your personal physician.
