I never had mine removed but deal with people who have on a daily basis, post op symptoms can vary from person to person depending on many factors, your surgery was pretty recent so it could be normal but if it persists I would call your doctor to check with him see what he thinks .
Was a lap or open surgery, where there any complications, did you have Cholecystitis , do you have a fever/chills, is the Doctor missing his watch? [Reply]
I had mine removed several years ago. I don't recall having any stomach pain, and no further issues at all. I'd be giving my doc a call just to make sure the pain is typical; plus, it'll ease your mind if nothing else. [Reply]
The first thing I would do after having an organ removed and experiencing unexpected pain, is to consult with the medical experts on ChiefsPlanet. [Reply]
Yes. Had mine out in 2012. A little pain is normal. You just had an organ removed. Consult your doc if it’s bad but it’s not abnormal to feel some discomfort. Best advice I ever got **disclaimer- not medical advice. Consult your doctor, etc** was to get some ox bile pills (any vitamin store like $10 bucks for a 90 day supply) and take 1-2 when I eat fatty foods like anything fried or lots of meat. Works like a charm. I just can’t do super spicy food anymore. Otherwise I eat what I want. [Reply]

my wife had hers out, and I second what you mentioned.
She simply cannot eat crappy food or fatty meat without experiencing quite a bit of pain.
While that might suck for your taste buds - it's better for your overall health anyways.
The pain she had right after surgery was pretty bad - hurt like hell for her to get out bed.
I finally got revenge for when she was calling me out for my post-op hernia pain! [Reply]
I had mine removed and I remember being pretty uncomfortable for a few days. I didn't take any pain pills stronger than ibuprofin.
The first 2-3 days I remember pain in my shoulders from body absorbing the gas they use to blow you up like a Thanksgiving float so expect that. [Reply]
If they use that Da Vinci technology, like they did on me, they shoot your body full of air. The next two days are that air looking for its way out. Hurt like hell.
I never had to change my diet...got lucky there. [Reply]
