Slight Back Pain Under Right Ribafter My Gallbladder Removal Posted: 03-22-06 16:46pm
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.
