Appendix Vs Gallbladder

I had a problem with both the gall blader and appendix at the same time. Symptoms for me were the same. They were both removed separately.

I am having the same issues: I also was told I have a fatty & enlarged liver.
Had my appendix out 3 weeks ago.
Yesterday I was told I need to have my gallbladder removed, due to stones.
What does all this mean?
Why didn't they find problems with gallbladder at the same time as my appendix?

I am having same problem. Labor day weekend 2011 had appendix out. sudden attack out of blue. However in hindsight I remembered the week before I did have lower back (right) pain which is associated with gall bladder. The surgeon said my appednix didn't look all that bad when he took it out, but ny pain was awful. I had 3 children, natural childbirth, no meds, and I would have rather had 10 kids than go through that "appendix" pain again. Doc was surprised. THEN 5/6 weeks later I am suffering severe abdominal pains, bloat, gas, distended gut, terrible feeling. Pain lower right, to backside, up to shoulder blades. classic gall bladder attack. Called surgeon and primary. Saw primary. Referred for sonogram.It shows i have gall bladder sludge. Have appt to see Gastro-Enter in 2 wks. Eating very light per med site suggestions. ugh. boring diet indeed. but the pain is not worth chancing it!! note: I lost 25 pounds earlier this year, primary says that could have led to gall bladder attack; low fat diet gives the organ a break, then we you return to eating more normal diet it spases out.
