[Gustav85]

I been having major problems with acid reflux...now several months after surgery I have severe pressure pain where the gallbladder was with massive air bubbles...actually pressing there sometimes you can move them...this is the right upper abdomin...

Eating certain foods even cause moderate to severe pain there bilariy tree I suppose its called...

Can this be sphincter of oddi dysfunction?

Babydawwl, find another doc to work with. It may or may not be an ulcer - if it is, it needs to be treated. If it isn't, the cause for the pain needs to be investigated.

My pains are sharp-stabbing like pain in the area with a ton of air bubbles where the gallbladder was....I had a burger today and the pain was severe...have low-fat foods moderate

One of the typical symptoms is extreme pain in the area of the non-existent gallbladder - attacks that feel like a gallbladder attack. The attacks can last from minutes to hours and when prolonged, can elevate liver and possibly pancreatic enzyme levels in the blood.

You may want to consider following a low fat diet to see if it's of help since you may not be able to process fats the way you did before the surgery.
