Q: RUQ pain after appendix and gallbladder removed

I have read all through this forum and I had no idea there were so many people with the same symptoms as me. I have to say its kinda nice to not be going through this alone.

I am a 23 year old female and all of my problems started about 4 years ago. RUQ pain. weight loss. So the doctor ordered me to have laproscopic surgery to see what was going on... He ended up finding Adhesions (scar tissue) all inside my abdomen (even though this was my first surgery).. So he cut them and removed my appendix...

Started to feel better for about 3 months and then the pain came back but more intense. So the doc ordered a Hida scan and nothing showed up so he just decided to go back in and "see" what was going on.. Well, Needless to say he found More adhesions and cut them and removed my gallbladder.. Again I was fine for about the same amount of time after the surgery.

Last week I had a Upper Gi endoscopy a colonoscopy and a x ray of my small intestine. the Upper Gi and Colonoscopy came back fine.. Still waiting on the results of the x ray But I noticed while they were taking pictures a small clip of some sort ?? right in the area where i am hurting is... Now my question is Are they supposed to leave a clip in when they remove your gallbladder ? I am just so confused... I have been running a mild to low grade fever for the past three weeks of 99.9 - 102.0. Doctors said I had blood in my urine and cysts on my ovary but do not think that is linked..
Sorry for such a long post I am just trying to see if anyone else out there is experiencing the same thing as me...

Thanks is advance Smile
