My diagnosis was correct.
Well saw my PCP this AM and my diagnosis of gall bladder was right, so I'm waiting for the nurse to call with appts. for an ultra sound and to see the surgeon. Looks like it's back to the OR for me. How long did you spend in the hospital with your GB removal? Thanks for all the responses and good wishes.

Bummer... but GOOD RIDDANCE! lol.
I had my gallbaldder removed 7 months post banding. (08/28/08). It was lap... out patient... I was home the same afternoon.
I did find my gallbladder recovery to be more painful than the lap band. With the lap band I didn't take pain meds at all. I was however "laid up" for 3 days on my couch under the influence of some wonderful pain meds after my gallbladder surgery.
Best of luck! I was NEVER so happy to have surgery as I was to get rid of my pesky gallbladder.
EDITED TO ADD: I went back to work after 1 week.
