How are gallstones diagnosed?

Post-gallbladder surgery, how are potential complications actually diagnosed? Specifically, how can you tell if a small stone has migrated from the gallbladder into the bile ducts after the procedure?

Essentially, I'm looking for a rundown of what kind of complications can crop up following gallbladder removal and the standard ways they are identified.

An abdominal ultrasound should do it. Just stick to the diet they gave you and you won't have any issues.
