I have kidney stones and was thinking the same thing before I read Dr. Anitha's post.

Thank you so much, I will make an appointment!
Hello and hope you are doing well.
Besides the gallbladder, there could be many causes for the pain you are experiencing. If the pain starts at the back and goes down to the front of the abdomen, it could most probably be a renal colic. This happens when urine is trying to pass through an obstruction usually a stone. But this pain is very severe and colicky. Other causes for pain could be peptic ulcer disease and GERD. You will need to consult your primary care physician for proper evaluation of pain and therapy.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
I have been tested for diabetes and that is not the problem. I also have a new symptom. I am not a big drinker, but last night I went out and had a margarita. I had such intense pains where my gallbladder was I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital. I started vomiting and was laying in fetal position it hurt so bad. The pain lasted about an hour and then I was fine. I have had alcohol since my surgery, but never reacted this way.
Hello and hope you are doing well.
IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion, i.e. once all other diseases of the colon like colitis, infections, tumors etc. have been ruled out, then the diagnosis of IBS is made. The pain could sometimes be due to the postoperative fibrosis. Hope diabetes has been ruled out. Diabetes can cause autonomic neuropathy and affect the digestive system, leading to problems with digestion and elimination. Check with your doctor regarding this.
