Dealing with symptoms after Gallbladder surgery

I am 5 weeks post laparoscopic gall bladder surgery. I did not have gall stones but was told my gall bladder was inflamed. I am having fairly bad pain where my gall bladder was underneath one of my incisions. I had a nurse check the incision and she said everything is good. I do not have nausea or diarrhea so was wondering what could cause this pain. Hoping it’s not some other problem like SOD. I talked to my surgeon’s nurse and she said it’s normal but I have talked to lots of other people who have had gall bladder surgery and they say they had no pain after 2 weeks. I’m 70 years old but very active.

I think it may be a scar tissue forming. You're lucky in the way that you didn't end up as I did when they had to fully open my belly because the gallbladder was inflamed, and they couldn't pull it out ! I spent over 2 weeks in ICU because the butcher cut everything possible to cut during laparoscopy, so that's why another surgeon was called (3 of them) to save my life. In your case it's most likely a scar tissue, so talk to the the surgeon NOT the nurse !
It's very important that you do talk to the surgeon who knows better than the nurse no matter how good they may be.
Good Luck !
