pain and tenderness after lap cholecytectomy

[Siamo Uno]

I had my gallbladder removed a little over four weeks ago. I am still having pain at times, and when pressing anywhere around where the gallbladder used to be, or anywhere on the right side of my abdomen all the way down to the appendix area, I am extremely tender. I mean it is so tender than sometimes when I barely press it makes me jump. I would not think I should still be this tender 4 weeks post op. And I don't understand why I am hurting in areas far from the gallbladder area. I also have had diarrhea since surgery and can't eat anything fatty at all. I am wondering if I could have a small bile leak that is causing the tender abdomen...I would appreciate any input anyone can give me..thanks. Tina

I had my gallbladder removed 6 weeks ago and I am having pain and tenderness in my abdomen on right side also.  Did you ever find out what was causing u this pain? I am also having intermittent pain on upper left side. and  feel sore in the center upper belly.  I have trouble finding a comfortable way to sleep all night as it get discomfort like something is stabbing or gnawing at me.  I have had every test imaginable and the GI specialist said that if there was something there one of the test would have picked it up.  But I know my body and there is something there and they just have not found it yet.  hopeless in houston.
