I had my gallbladder (along with several
large stones) removed 5-11-04. I've
recently been having some symptoms that
are causing pain in my chest..And still
experiencing symptoms as when I had my
gallbladder (of which I referred to them
as ghost symptoms). I went to a new
family practice doctor and another
abdominal ultrasound was done. When I
went in for a f/u appt she states that the
ultrasound report refers to a contracted
galbladder and gallstones. I'm assuming
my gallbladder was removed 6 months
ago...Would anyone have any suggestions as
to why my recent ultrasound would show
this? Cysts? Left-over sponge from
the first surgery? Ha ha

I would suggest going to another doctor
for a second opinion. If your gullbladder
has been removed totally than it is
impossible for your doctor to see it on
the ultrasound. It must be something
else.
Or your gullbladder has not been removed,
only the stones in it, in which case it is
possible for you to have developed
others.
