Hey guys.  I am in soo much pain right now, I cannot stand it.  I have such terrible pain in my back and into my front torso. On a level of 0-10, what is my pain?----20.
I had my gallbladder laprascopically removed eight days ago.  Could anyone who has had this operation please let me know what if any symptoms or pain you had after?  It would be much appreicated.

i'm so sorry you're in pain. my similar pain from hell was from a stray stone 4 years after laproscopy to remove the gallbladder. i bet you have a stone that slipped out of the gallbladder before or during surgery & is now lodged in the biliary tree somewhere. it's time to visit the er or at least phone your surgeon NOW. hopefully the docs can see the problem or stone via ultrasound. good luck. ccz
