Pregnancy after gallbladder surgery?

I got pregnant less then 6 months after having my gallbladder removed. I'm now 27 weeks and can not lay on my right side without feeling sharp pain under my ribs. It lasts for a long time. Almost feels like a gallbladder attack. My Dr brushed it off and called it phantom pain. Anyone have any similar problems?

I got pregnant 4 months after having my gallbladder removed,im 25 weeks pregnant now,i havent had any issues with it,phantom pains after the surgery are very common and it also could be the baby is lying too like a foot kicking your ribs...in previous pregnancies i have had that....after 6 months of having your gallbladder out and if you havent had any problems with it up to now it does sound like phantom pains

I had keyhole surgery for a huge cyst on my ovary in september and fell pregnant in october. I get sharp pains like I still have a cyst as the baby grows bigger but my midwife brushes it off and says its nothing to worry about.x
