Thanks Jaybay for the info. I couldn't figure out why I'd have any pain there if the gallbladder was removed. I'll be making an appointment with a GI.
You may have sludge - basically grains of the same stuff that forms gallstones - in your bile duct. You'll need to see your gastroenterologist about it. It's not at all uncommon in people with gallbladder problems and the gastro doc can do a procedure called an ERCP to clear it out. It's basically endoscopy on steroids so no surgical incisions are required.
QD3 continued....my question is: what can cause that pain?
