hi, if you read my story i think you had the same problem i did but backwards. They removed my apendix first and it probably was my Gallbladder that was damadged. After they removed the apendix my pain was still there....and now i am facing a gallbladder removal!
good luck!

Pony, go back and see the doc. You may have a stone lodged in the common bile duct or could have developed stones after having the GB removed.

You may want to consider following a low fat diet. For some with pain and diarrhea following the surgery, it can be helpful.
