I had never known anyone else who had their gall bladder removed and continued to have pain. I have all kinds of tests done and everything is normal but about ever six weeks I have a week long episode. Hard to live with.

Hello @gingerqueen

You might be surprised to learn that many people who have their gallbladders removed still continue to have pain. Hee is a link to a discussion about that very topic, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/pain-at-old-gall-bladder-surgical-site/

Here is another website that may offer you more information, https://www.healthline.com/health/gallbladder-removal-side-effects#side-effects

I'm wondering where your pain is located. Are there any foods that seem to trigger the pain?

Did you have open surgery or was your surgery laparoscopic?
