post gall bladder pain

I had keyhole surgery for the removal of my gall bladder 13days ago.  there was only 1 small stone found. Last night I was pain for about I hour.  The pain was the same as I was experiencing before surgery but more sever.
Does this mean that the gall bladder was not the problem in the first place
or could it be that this pain was part of the healing process after surgery.

After my gallbladder removal surgery, I did not experience the same pain ever again.  Can you describe the pain you had/are having?

I have heard it's possible to have the removal surgery but still have stones stuck in the bile ducts which could still be causing your pain.
