I had my gallbladder removed 12 years ago. I started with the pain as you are describing. I would swear sometimes I was a having another Gallbladder attack. It did turn out to be adhesions,. I went to Dr. Redan in Orlando and I was a candidate for spray shield. So far it seems like it worked. I have been pain free Since Oct 2, 2009. I know it seems such short of time, but after the surgery before this I was in pain again in a week. Let me know if you have any questions I can help you with. Melissa
