After Gallbladder removal problems

by DC__0__0, Sep 17, 1998 12:00AM

  Had gallbladder removed surgically 3/98.  Now, many months later, still very uncomfortable.  When lying down, no problem but soreness on stomache/belly area when touched.  When upright, stomach and belly get extended and very hard and uncomfortable.  Am I hopeing for full recovery too early or is this not normal.  I am getting so frustrated waiting to return to normal.  I'd be grateful for a helpful response.  Thank you.
