How would you code biliary colic if the patient has already had a cholecystectomy?

Thank you.
 
Has the patient been diagnosed with Postcholecystectomy syndrome which is described as Jaundice or abdominal pain following cholecystectomy? If not, I would code 576.9, Unspecified disorder of biliary tract. If the chart documents pain for this visit, you could also consider just using that.
