Gallbladder: weight gain, bloating?

On Monday morning I woke up weighing 5lbs heavier.  The upper part of my stomach is so bloated that I look like I am pregnant.  I am also having some acid burning by my sternum. 

Any idea what this could be?  Is it possible its issues with my gallbladder?  I thought I remember my surgeon saying that I might experience bloating with my gallbladder.

If I remember correctly (its been a LONG time) when I had my gallbladder issues, they were lower side/back. 

Wonder if it has something to do with your remnant stomach?  Heard issues can arise with it...

What can occur with the remnant stomach?  I've never seen anything on this?

I've recently heard just bits and pieces about the ability to get ulcers in it as well as other issues that arise.  Another thing is it can "reattach" to your pouch and cause problems too. 

I hope someone who knows more about this chimes in, as I'd like to know more too.
