Diabetic with yellowing skin and pain after gallbladder removal.

I a a diabetic and I was wondering, will a tumor in the bile duct after gallbladder surgery cause pain and yellowing of the skin. As well as having no energy.

Anything that causes a blockage of the bile duct - including spasms of the duct itself or spasms of the small muscular opening to the small intestine - can cause jaundice. Your doc needs to investigate to determine the cause of the problem.
