<s>[INST] i had gallbladder surgery on Jan 4th, Im still feeling tired and have been experiencing pain in my upper abs area.  I had a ultrasound and blood work taken yesterday which was normal but how long does it take for this feeling to go away?  I had the SLLS procedure which is done only thru the belly button. [/INST] Hi, Post cholecystectomy pain maybe due to stones in common bile duct OR increased fat intake OR functional pain. You need further evaluation. Advice:- get an ultrasound (abdomen) to rule out any stone remnants in common bile duct-also get a complete blood cell count(CBC) test-avoid OILY food altogether-you may need to take medium/antacid 40 mg once daily before breakfast for 1 to 2 months pain persists after with Chat Doctor.  Further queries are welcome. Wish you good health.r </s>
