What causes stomach pain and bloating with diarrhea after a hysterectomy?
Patient: Hi my name is Jill I had a hysterectomy done on August 3 2009. I had every thing taken out except my gallbladder and my appendex. I'm having the same symptome that I'm having are the same symptome before my hysterectomy gas bloating and diarrhea the really bad pains in my stomach is in the upper part of my stomach around where my gallbladder before my surgery I had every test done out there all of test came back negative for my gallbladder. Any feed back would be great. I'm also wondering because all the problem that I was having with my period and they thought it might be my gallbladder.
