I had my gallbladder surgically removed 4 years ago due to gallstones. Before, whenever I had a meal, there would be pain around the gallbladder/liver area.
Now, 4 years after the surgery, the pain is still there. In fact, at times, the pain is even worse than before. While I am having a meal, only a few minutes after my first few bites, the pain in the gallbladder/liver area starts again. Then after the meal, the pain slowly goes away, which can sometimes be hours.
I don't understand - even after I have taken out my gallbladder, why is the pain still there? Also, why does the pain immediately starts after I have begun eating - in only 10 minutes or so, the pain starts?
