Every where: we call the GB the great immitaters it could immitate any disease in the chest and abdomen strangely enough good percentage of people with GB disease they will have pain on the left side instead of the right side if you do have stone you will be better off with the surgery anyway before one of the stones passed and block your main duct even if your problem is not GB if you have stones you need OR
