I had my GB removed on 4.14.08 and spent two weeks in hospital due to bile duct leak.  Have been out for almost a week and I too still have pain, sometimes dull ache and sometimes knife stabbing, on right side where GB should be.  My doc says the leak is sealed and the pain should go away.  Also having orange diarhea (diarrhea).  He did CAT and HIDA scan and shows everything is normal.  Please let me know what your second opinion shows and I will let you know if I have any info.  I know several people that had the GB removed and never had a single problem since the moment they left the hospital.  Guess we are some of the unlucky ones.  Ha.  Please keep me posted.  I don't think the pain is normal.
