Did your surgeon remove your gall bladder during your surgery?? If not, sounds like a gall bladder attack to me. good luck!! Lori

Right lower ab, is the appendix. Vomiting is also a symptom. Get this checked asap.

My gall bladder attacks started in the middle right at the breast bone then the pain worked its way around to the right then the pain finally parked itself in my back where it stayed for several hours. Horrendous pain that sometimes caused vomiting. I never had any pain in the right lower abdomen with these gall bladder attacks. Your gall bladder is located just to the right of your stomach and a little behind it. So the lower right area of your abdomen is too low for it to be a gall bladder problem.
