How common is it to have stones once your gallbladder is removed?  I had this happen to me and it was awful.... inflammed liver and acute pancrititis ...... 8 weeks of  nothing more than ice chips and a pick line.  Don't ever want to go through that agian.

It can and does happen, although I'm not sure anyone can give you a percentage. I'm not sure anyone has ever kept track of the numbers.

You may want to make sure that your cholesterol levels are kept well within the recommended limits which can sometimes help in diminishing post-surgical stone/sludge formation. Another factor is suggested to be the use of hormones.
