    Gallbladder ultrasound may have found trouble

    They probably want to make sure that you are not having anymore problems than what you are having. I didn't have these problems because I had my gallbladder removed years ago. I am having other issues though. Good luck with everything. Keep us posted on the outcome of everything. TillieS
