I knew I needed my gall bladder out when everything I ate gave me a pressure kind of feeling in my chest. It was in my lower chest though. Between my boobs in between my ribs. The pain was horrible!!! Towards the end I could not even eat a simple cracker without being in pain. After my gall bladder was out, the Doc told me it was FULL of stones. I am so glad I do not feel that pain anymore.
