I keep having lots of pain on my right side, whenever I get out of a chair or bend or twist. My doc thinks it's gallbladder, but I'm not sure because it seems lower than that. Anyone else have something similar?

Gallbladder disease is VERY PAINFUL. It is terrible pain, that makes you feel like you are dying. It is also often accompanied by painful diarrhea or vomiting. It is not a normal pain. But gallbladder disease is easily diagnosed using an ultrasound. A diseased gallbladder is often filled with stones that can be seen on the ultrasound. Good luck with things.

Prior to the Lap-Band procedure my doctor scanned for Stones and it was determined that my Gallbladder needed to be removed prior to the Lapband. I felt great after the Gallbladder was removed and even questioned the Lapband for moment. I would suggest getting the ultrasound done and determine if you have problems.

Thanks for your replies! I did have the ultrasound, and I'm waiting to hear the results.
