Q: Slight Back Pain Under Right Ribafter My Gallbladder Removal

Hiya folks,
i just had laparoscopic gallbladder surgery 4 days ago. It was my first sugery at 29 years old. I have some weird all over tummy rumbling going on but i'm atributing that to the carbon dioxide they used to inflate my chest during the surgery. I feel ok other then babying my 4 surgery holes and I can eat anything without feeling nausious. Though I do find I feel more full quicker when eating then I did before I had my gallbladder removed.
The thing that is really bugging me is I have this weird dull pain once in a while on my right side on my back just bellow my ribcage. It is actually right under one of the far incisions. Like if you could stick something in that insicion and go twords my back, it lines up perfectly. I can move my right arm all around with no pain. It usually happens when I sit up. Last night I was pulling a pillow underneither my back and lightly hit the spot on my back. That hurt but it went away. It feels like someone is contantly poking me in my back from my insides.


Has anyoen else had this happen? Does it go away? I would call my doctor but he's on vacation until next week and his stand in doctor seems .. Well.. Rude and uppity.


Thanks in advance!

I had gallbladder surgery last april. I had a lot of those types of pain after surgery & I still have some small aches like you describe almost a year later. Just give yourself time to heal, it can take up to a year or so to fully recover from any surgery.

Hi, im 34 and had the same surgery 3 days ago and I am having pain under my right ribcage as well as pain under my left ribcage that goes through to my back. Lots of loud gurgling noises to, especially if I drink juice or pop. Pain feels like squeezing/burning, what about yours?. Trying to stay on a low fat diet hoping my body adapts soon and I can start eating normally again.
