like you i had my gallbladder out and i still had pain. the doctor said i shouldnt be having pain. I had bad pain usually around 2am to 5 am in the moring. so i figured it out that when i had a lot to eat and then go to bed i would have it.I couldnt breathe bad pain in the top stomach area. So i went to doctors again. I have uclers. hployri something most americans have it but some dont develope uclers. so next time you have that pain again eat some thing right away a piece of bread or two and it should go away in 5 mins. and stay up for about 1 hr so it will digest. if your pain does go away go to doctors to have them check for uclers or h. plyori. you need anitbiotcis for it or if want to cure natural way...
