    Phantom Pain with missing Gallbladder

    I am having pain where my gallbladder use to be (in 1990).  I had wls 26 days ago and I feel fine other than the phantom gallbladder pain.  Is this normal?
    I had my gallbladder out 8 years ago and I have phantom pains where it was. I can't chalk this up to surgery as I was just sleeved on Thurdsay. I just think it is normal. Like when someone loses a limb and says they still feel pain in their fingers/toes.
                

        
    What do you mean phantom pain? Even with out a gall bladder you can still have gallstone attacks. I had mine out 13 years ago and have passed stones 2-3 times over the years.
