Rt. rib pain and Rt. Flank Back Pain

Rt. rib pain and Rt. Flank Back Pain

Hi Doc,

I had my gallbladder removed in 2004 through a laproscope procedure.  Recently, I have been experiencing rt rib and rt flank back pain as well. I also have been experiencing frequent nausea and upset stomach after I eat.  

Just this week, I went to my GP and he found 6 surgical clips that were left in due to the removal of my gallbladder.  My first question is: is it typical to leave that many or any surgical clips in???  Is is necessary to have the removed?

I've been having alot of pain and nausea due to this and want to know if it would be beneficial to have the clips removed??

Thank you for your time and expert advice.
