What Causes Upper Abdominal Pain And Acid Reflux After Gallbladder Removal?

I am a 22 years old female and had gallbladder surgey a few months ago. they removed my gallbladder but i had to go back 3 times to get stones removed from my bile duct after that procedure. my eyes are starting to turn yellow again and i have upper adominal pain (that is not constant) acid reflex, diahrea, and I am tired all the time. I am worried that something bad is going on. I have a doctors apt on monday but I am getting very scared that something might happen to me or somehtinkg is happening to me. what do you think it could be?

HI thank you for posting your query in HCM. I had gone through your question.I understand your concerns. My opinion is that you should not be worried much because few symptoms appear after gall bladder removal.
Bile is not stored in gallbladder in its absence ,its being delivered directly to the small intestine when bile may leak and cause pain. after any operation infection may develop which can cause the pain. acute pancreatitis is the possibility.even gastritis can cause the pain in the upper abdomen. diarrhoea is quite common especially after having a fatty meal as the bile is insufficient to digest the fats present in the food.
I would suggest you to consult your doctor for the symptomatic treatment hope i have answered your query. if you have further questions i will be happy to help.
