Gallbladder Symptoms

I haven't posted here in a long time because I've been so busy with my full-time job.  However, I am asking for prayers regarding my abdominal ultrasound at 10am this morning.  I saw my new primary care physician last month and explained to her that my former PCP was monitoring me for signs of gallbladder problems but was unable to test me because I did not have health insurance, which I now have.  My new PCP ordered an upper abdominal ultrasound based on my symptoms of fullness in my right upper abdomen, discomfort, and some gastrointestinal symptoms.  I kept waiting because I didn't want to miss work for the test, but the symptoms are getting increasingly worse.  Gallbladder disease runs in my family and several people on my dad's side have had to undergo a cholecystectomy (removal of gallbladder).  I'm praying that they can find the problem with the ultrasound.  I'm also hoping that, if I do have to have surgery, that they are able to do it laparoscopically rather than an open procedure to minimize recovery time and scarring.
