i had the same problem after my gallbladder surgery i was concerned to but i was reassured by my dr that it could take about 2-4 weeks to get back to 100% feeling better.so just hang in there it will subside.if it is tstill there and you are worried tell your dr. when you go for your follow up.hope this helps.also hold a heating pad on your stomache this helps the pain subside.this worked for me.

Symptoms would be pain or achy feeling just under your right rib cage. Sometimes it can radiate to your shoulder or back. I only had the pain under the rib, so everyone is different.

Also, after eating fried foods, or anything that may not digest easily can induce more pain.

I had my gallbladder removed after a scan proved it was no longer functioning. I still have to be careful of my diet as sometimes I get phantom pains, like my gallbladder is still there! Seems the liver takes over for the gallbladder so that may be why.
