Is it my gallbladder?

maybe I am just worried..I will be 5 weeks on Monday and a couple of days ago my stomach started feeling uncomfortable. I am not sure how to describe it, it doesn't hurt horribly but I get these waves of uncomfortableness and it is usually on my right side, and my stool has been very light in color. Am I worried for nothing or do you think it could be my gallbladder?

The coming in waves part sounds about right, but when I had gallbladder issues, the pain was terrible. I described it to myself as a stomach flu with horrible pain on top of it. I don't remember if I had other pain before my first real attack, that I might have ignored, but once it really hit, it hit hard. But really, the best thing to do is check with your Dr.

Good luck.

It's a steady uneasy discomfort that has waves of increased pain. My pain was right in the center of my upper abdomen and between my shoulder blades. When you pass a stone (if you have stones) it is SEVERE pain, often with nausea and vomiting. After the stone passes, you often get a wave of diarrhea and your stool can be clay colored. It's very, very common after weight loss surgery (any weight loss really) to have a sick gallbladder. Mine started up after 2nd baby but then simmered down for several years. Finally, after a 20 lb weight loss a few tears ago, the stones hit and I was freaking miserable. It was such a relief to get mine out. If you get a fever, go straight to doc. I never had a fever but I had a ton of stones. He had to make my umbilical incision a little bigger than usual to get the fb out with all those stones. I recovered very quickly. Piece of cake actually. I'm hopeful Sleeve will be as easy but I don't think that'll be the case.
