Day 27: What is that dull ache down in my abdomen?


The last two days were great, with no issues. In fact, yesterday I actually forgot for a while that I had my gallbladder removed. In fact, I was feeling better than I have in a long time.

Today, I woke up with a mild ache in the lower right abdomen. This seems to me to be outside of the area where the operation happened, almost between the navel and the appendix. ItSo if I had to guess I would say it's somewhere in my large intestine. For all I know this may just be a problem I would have felt today even if I had a perfectly fine gallbladder.

Either way, it's a reminder that even 4 weeks after your surgery, you may still feel minor aches and discomfort in your abdomen. It may or may not be related, but I can assure you that if you are anything like me you will always assume it is.

    hi, I had my gallbladder removed on March 18, 2014 ..about a a month and 5 days now. since yesterday my stomachache on the right side. I was feeling much better but just recently the pain is back, I think it might be from drinking coffee and some fatty food.

    Thank you for writing this blog, I am glad to have someone to talk with..

    By the way, I had gall bladder removed by a Davinci robot, only 1 small hole at my belly button.

      I'm able to drink coffee without a problem now. Sure, it's been a few years, but I was able to drink coffee again not too long after my surgery. Every person is different of course, but I think you should be fine.
