I am going through the same thing, my gall bladder was removed in March '08 and I am still having the same pain, I've had Ct scan, I'm scheduled for UGI, endoscopy, colonoscopy and I've had blood test for H pylori. My Ct scan showed everything was good and gall bladder is gone, the H plyori came back negative. So now I wait for the other tests. I am frustrated to say the least and like you would like to get a good night's sleep again.

I have been having pain on my right side above my ribs for about a yr but in the past 2 weeks it has gotten worse the drs told me i may have gallbladder disease.. they have given me a cat scan, ultrasound, and did blood work but they havent found anything. I usually get pain acouple of hrs after i eat and have the pain for about 3 or 4 hrs. I was wondering are these the symptoms for gall bladder disease?? I also usually get the pain during the night and wake up with it. Thank you

I had similar symptoms but they did decide it was definitely my gall bladder till i had a hida scan, from all I've heard since I had mine removed try whatever you can to not remove it
Let me know how you do...

I had my gall bladder out early 1999 and I continue to have pains just like I had when I HAD my gall bladder. It got so bad 3 weeks ago I went to the ER. Of course-they could find nothing gthat was causing my pain. My H-Pylori test came back negative as well. The doctor just diagnosed it as heart burn. But anyone that has had these episodes know that it is not heartburn. I have an appointment with a specialist-but am concerned they will just look at me like I'm a freak

I have had gallbladder symptoms since the beginning of February this year and after three months of continual pain and stomach spasm attacks, I had it removed. That was back in June and even since surgery I have constant pain 24/7 in my middle abdomen as well as in the upper and lower back (behind the shoulder blades and also the kidney area). The pains I get are very sharp and are crippling to the point that you can't even move.

Anyone have any suggestions. Only thing I've been given by doctors are Di-Gesic painkillers which I don't like taking as they make me drowsy and unable to concentrate at work.

I have been to so many doctors all of which now believe that the whole thing is a psychologically induced problem because they have no idea. I started going to a naturopath a few weeks back but I wish the results could have been a little more positive. People just think you're a freak or a hypochondriac.
