Yes, from what I understand they always leave in a Metal clip. The doctors say that it will cause no complications. Let me ask you a question. Did you have any complications for the first few months after your gallbladder surgery? I had my gallbladder removed on May 19, 2006. Things seemed to be great until about a week after surgery then I got this constant nausea. This sent me to the ER twice and finally they Doctors found a medication that helped and I then went back to normal, however on a very strict diet. Then just last week it came back. I had to go to the Doctor and he keeps telling me its from the bile in my stomach... I was just wondering what you went through after your surgery.. Thanks!!
