Can you get gallbladder pain without gallbladder?

Yes, you can still feel similar pain due to bile issues or phantom pain. Do consult your surgeon soon.

Look, if the gallbladder is gone, the pain could be because of gas, acidity, or some stone left in the bile duct. Don't sit on it or ignore it, go back to your doctor and get an ultrasound done.

My mother is scheduled for gallbladder surgery next week and now I am really scared reading this. Does this pain happen to everyone after surgery, or is it a rare complication? Please let me know.

I completely understand how terrifying it is to feel that horrible pain again after going through a whole surgery. I also panicked thinking the surgery failed. Please take a deep breath, it is a known medical issue and doctors can easily treat it.

My body is so dramatic that even after losing my gallbladder, it likes to pretend it's still there and hurting! It is usually just heavy acidity or fatty food reacting. Just eat simple boiled food for a few days.

Oh my, please don't take this lightly. It could be some blockage in the hepatic duct or even pancreas irritation which can become serious. Please visit a gastroenterologist immediately to rule out anything risky.
