Dealing with symptoms after Gallbladder surgery

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 !

I take offense to your comment regarding the surgeons nurse and your dismissal of them. There is a reason that physicians have PA’s, NP’s, RN’s, LPN’s working for them to screen the numerous calls doctors get from worried patients. These staff’s deal on a daily bases with a hell of a lot more patients then you or I will ever see, I’ve been there as a retired nurse. If doctors had to spend their time responding to every call for a routine minor complaint they’d not get any work done let alone surgery. Everyone heals differently as we are not alike. If a patient complained about an issue that the doctor needed to be made aware of they would notify him. If the doctor trusts their staff to speak with patients why shouldn’t the patient do the same?
