Brief Answer:
could be post cholecystectomy syndrome

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic .

After removal of gall bladder(cholecystectomy) some people may develop post cholecystectomy syndrome. In this you may get pain in right upper part similar to before surgery, stomach upset and gas problem.

It may be transient or for longer period.

I suspect the same in you. You need to consult your operated surgeon and discuss regarding this. To diagnose the cause and treat it.

Hope I have answered your query . If any further queries are there I would love to help.

Regards
Dr.Deepika Patil
