Hold on before you go jumping into this because you are still having problems yet the usual answer nothing is wrong. Hope I dont get in trouble here but I happen to know a few things and this may be worth finding out if the pain goes away for a few bucks. I will assume that since you had your gallbladder out, you were having gallbladder problems or attacks. You are still having trouble - doesnt surprise me if this is the scenario: The gallbladder doesnt hold near as many stones as the liver. The liver holds or can hold around 2,000. Do they address the liver? NO. Just the gallbladder. Then how can one feel better? A liver flush can push more stones out. Its a 3 day event to find out. If you go in for adhesions and dont have them, you havent gained anything. If you can do a liver flush, you WILL gain something - either the knowledge that you arent dealing with adhesions because the pain is gone OR the pain isnt gone and its adhesions. You have a good chance at staying out of surgery. I have the recipe for the flush if you want it
