Could this be gall bladder? - Page 2

They can't take out the tiny part of the gallbladder that is attached to the liver (it has a specific name, I can't remember.) So it's not a "ghost" attack, per se; it's an attack in that tiny part.

THANK YOU for this! I thought I was crazy thinking that I still had these phantom gb attacks even after having it out! The "after" attacks are much much easier than the actual gb attack, though - worst.pain.ever.

OP, try apple cider vinegar when you feel an attack coming on. It may help to lessen the severity of the pain. It helped after I had my GB removed and I was still having symptoms. I still use it now and then because I think I get little stones in my bile ducts. GB issues suck. So sorry you're dealing with this
