I have a sense of fullness under my right rib cage like something most be swollen. It's not painful but uncomfortable and if I slouch a little it's even more uncomfortable. Could it be my gallbladder already? I'm almost four weeks post op. I don't feel bad per se but this is definitely an annoyance! Of course after surgery we worry about every little thing too. Anyone else have this?

I had it immediately after surgery. It went away by 6 weeks out. I talked to my doctor about it and he said he didn't know what it was but if it became a sharp pain to call immediately. It seemed to get worse when I ate/drank. But it really did get slowly better at around 5-6 weeks after surgery. I don't have a gallbladder, so for me that def was not it.
