What Causes Fatigue And Pain After Gallbladder Removal?
Hello,
I had my gallbladder emoved 2 weeks ago. I feel as if I am exhausted all the time and the exhaustion has gotten worse over the past week. I had thought that by this time, I should be feeling better, not worse. I also have frequent attacks of pain on my right side, almost as if I still had a gallbladder. Is there anything that can be done? When should I finally feel better?

I would recommend lab work and a repeat ultrasound of the abdomen to look for any fluid collection or retained stones that might be blocking the ducts from the liver. Aside from any problems such as these most patients are back to their normal state of health within a few weeks.
