hi.

noted history of fatty liver and pain the right side of the stomach. it is possible that you have a symptomatic gallbladder disease (probably secondary to a gallstone or polyp). it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon or a gastroenterologist, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. your gallbladder disease might have been there for a long time already (chronic cholecystitis). if your symptoms are occurring more frequently, surgical management will be advised, because you don't want your condition to be an emergent one. an elective (scheduled/planned) surgery has better outcomes and lesser risk of developing complications. diagnostics (such as ultrasound, bilirubins, alkaline phosphatase, liver function tests, blood count, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. definitive treatment for gallstone disease is surgical removal of the gallbladder (along with the stones or polyps). it could be done laparoscopically (goldstandard) or thru open technique. low fat diet is also recommended.

hope this helps.

good day!!
