I had my gallbladder removed this am
At 7:30 am surgery was over by 8:30 and I was released to go home at 11:00am.
I had for years bloated stomach after I ate, got full easy, chest pain and pressure, pain in back and shoulder blades, burping, heartburn and dizziness.
In 2007 I was told I had a small polyp in my gb but nothing to worry about. For years lived miserable finally march 6 th 2011 I had an abdominal ultrasound that showed multiple gallstones.
I couldn't understand since I wasn't having gallbladder attacks i found out I was having symptoms of gallstones.
You don't have to only have pain in rightbside under ribs
When surgeon checked me he pushed on gb and it didn't hurt.
2 days later I tried to eat a steak mind you noe on the charcoal grill lean within 20 minutes horrible pain then Sunday march 19th j ate a piece of cheddar cheese and within minutes
I had a sharp like kind going straight through my chest into my back.
It hurt more when I breathed in.
I'm glad it's gone.  
I must say procedure went well.
I'm 42 yo female had the sils laproscopy done that's where they just go through the belly button no other ports , no scars less invasive.
The pains from the gas put in you does hurt but walk and move around as much as possible and it leaves fairly fast,.
I can't wait fir the days to come I already feel better.
I was intially afraid of the surgery don't be people its easy and Over before u know it

No, gallstones can't change your mood; BUT pain certainly can change mood.  Considering the pain from your gallstaones and lack of sleep, it is not at all surprising that you're agitated and snappy.  I sure hope that gallbladder is scheduled to come out soon!
