post gall bladder surgery pain

I am 2 months post gall bladder removal with 1.2cm size stones removed.  I have been having 5 or 6 episodes over the last 2 weeks of acute pain below the sternum.  It feels like a balloon inflating and just before it will burst (over the course of 5 minutes) the pain decreases to a managable level.  I just had a EGD that was normal, all labs and EKG are normal.  No fevers, or pain anywhere else, just these attacks of intense pain, usually during the night.  Please help!

I had what I called phantom pains after my gallbladder was taken out.  If it makes you feel better, these pains will subside.  You are only 2 months post op.

Just hope you don't get the bloating and lower abdominal pain i have now.  I had my gallbladder taken out over a year ago.
