Hi all. After 2 years of initial symptoms I had my Gallbladder removed over 4 weeks ago when finally it took a HIDA scan to determine I had chronic cholecystitis due to dysfunction. Recovery was slower than expected as I also have mild Crohn's disease. My bowel was initially affected but improved. My billiary pain seemed have subsided immediately as I went back to a normal diet a week after surgery. At about 3.5 weeks I started experiencing the same dull pain and balloon type pressure in the URQ into the back after meals. It's like I never had the surgery at all. The pain can be relieved by lying horizontally on my left side mainly. Sitting up straight or standing for any length of time brings the pain back. The pain and discomfort stops about 4 hours after a meal. I have a follow up with my surgeon in 2 weeks but he told me before the surgery there is a 10% chance there could be another issue. He referenced dysfunction of the Sphincter of Oddi as well. I am going to see what we says and provide an update. I hope everyone else finds some relief.
