Gallbladder issues are relatively common post WLS and I was warned to watch for it but when I went to the hospital they didn't even bring it up even when I said that I'd had WLS and lost so much weight.
When I talked to the girl at work she said for her it didn't matter if the food was overly fatty or greasy, sometimes her gallbladder would act up when she ate too much. I did eat too much that night. I know I did. I was burping like mad. The stuffed mushroom was so good that my mouth kept wanting to finish the rest of it and I had 2 bites too many and was rather uncomfortable the rest of the evening from over-eating so its possible it brought it on. When I showed her where my pain was and explained how it felt she was nodding the whole time telling me that's just how hers felt and that I should get an ultrasound to check it.
I guess that's something to look forward to when I get to Vancouver!

If it helps at all, the recovery from a gall bladder surgery is pretty quick. I had mine out 13+ years ago and had surgery on a Fri. and was back to work on Tues. I hope that isn't what it is, but at least if it is there is light at the end of the tunnel.
