gallbladder twinges

Has anyone ever felt a twinge in the area where the gallbladder was removed?  It is similar to touching a filling with aluminum foil.  I get these on a regular basis and wondered if it is normal.

Have your doctors told you that you should avoid fat and alkohol? If not stay away from it

this has happened to me..could be phantom pains..or nerves, that is my surgeon told me.  I haven't felt them again though.  It has only been 11 days for me post op.

I got it right after my surgery. Like my body was trying to use it but its not there...hurt like hell...I get occasional twitches at that spot, not sure if it has to do with the gallbladder not being there or just muscle and nerves..
