I had my gall bladder removed last May and all went well.I know of the pain you are talking about but mine is more of a dull ache and feels as if there is a lump
there and I get a ache on my right side in my waist. However all seems well according to my doctor and had scans etc.
I hope you get on o.k. and if you find out what the pain is perhaps you could let us know.
Having no more gall bladder attacks is good though isnt it.
