Saw the surgeon

Incisions look greay. However, I asked him what is up with me feeling the EXACT SAME LEFT-SIDED abdominal pain that brought me to having my gallbladder out. The same symptoms. He said everything is "settling down" and, in six weeks if its contuinung then contact him.

I feel gaslighted.
