Sorry for the disconnected response.
With my gallbladder I develope Abdominal Adhesions which are bands of scar tissue that form between organs. Adhesions cause pain by pulling nerves, either within an organ tied down by an adhesion or within the adhesion itself. Some people have no symptoms.

If symptoms don't go away quickly might be time to see the doc!

Hi Dawn, I know it’s been awhile since your post so hopefully you get this message. I had my gallbladder out almost 4 months ago and have developed pain and it gets severe in my side under the ribs and the pain goes across my abdomen and can be on the left under the ribs too. It has been a constant pain for 3 weeks. The pain developed 3 months after surgery. I’ve several tests all come back normal. Thinking it could be adhesions. I had laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. If you don’t me asking what was your experience with adhesions? Where was your pain, when did it start, was the pain constant? Any information you can give would be helpful. I hope you are feeling better now.

Hi. I’ve been suffering from right sided pain where my ribs are and upper abdominal pain 3 months after having my gallbladder was removed. I’ve also had a loss of appetite and nausea. I’ve had all sorts of tests and everything is coming back ok. If you wouldn’t mind sharing what was your experience with adhesions after having your gallbladder removed and what were your symptoms?
