Update on my progress from my gallbladder removal....
I've noticed in the last week or so that I've been experiencing intermittent sharp pain in the area around my surgery site throughout the day. Today, I called my surgeon's office and spoke with his medical assistant about it.
She explained that during the surgery, they actually snip off the nerve endings. About 6-8 weeks after the surgery, people can experience intermittent sharp pains as these nerve endings repair themselves and grow back. I was told to ride it out for another month or two and if I notice that it gets worse or more frequent, then to call back.
I also have noticed that I get sick after spicy food. I start to feel all kinds of weird pains around my right side (back and front) and after 4-5 hours of eating said spicy food, it subsides.
I also get sick after fried food or food with a lot of cheese.
I'm making note of this so that if anyone stumbles to my blog while searching for information about gallbladder surgery, then maybe this can help.
Moving right along

Gallstones form in the gallbladder attack remedy, a small organ located under the liver. The gallbladder aids in the digestive process by storing bile and secreting.
