@lizz1900 - that sounds discouraging. I had my gallbladder removed about 16 years ago and have not had any troubles since. However, that does not appear to be the experience of all who have this surgery.

Your mention of seeing about more tests after the first of the year sounds wise.

Have you been in touch with the surgeon who performed your gallbladder surgery to see if they believe the symptoms you are experiencing now are connected to the gallbladder removal? If so, what did he or she say?
