About 6 weeks ago I had my gallbladder out. They found that I had gallstones as part of my pre-opp test for lap-band surgery. I've been having serious trouble with my gallbladder for years. I've had stomach nausa after I would eat, sharpe stomach pains (where I was hospitalized) after taking antibiotics, feeling blah, sick and not enegy, and I've had a very sharp pains in my upper back and right shoulder blade for years. Well, after my gallbladder was taking out, all those problems went away, even the back pain. There's a pressure point in you back that goes to the gallbladder causing that pain. While my doctor was taking out my gallblader, he looked at my liver and said it was very large. I'm now loosing weight to reduce the size of my liver before I have lap-band surgery. Good luck.
