Long..possible gallbladder???

I've been looking at this board for a little while and finally decided to post...Just looking for some opinions. Ok about 2 weeks (beginning of Feb)or so after I had my DD I started getting pain in the upper abdomen in the center, it feels like pressure like maybe someone is wrapping hands around the spot and won't let go and I should be able to move and it'll go away but it doesn't. Also sometimes it feels like a cool burning sensation. I get nauseous and sometimes shakey. The pain goes to my middle back and lasts for about an hour or so. I have gas and lots of belching. I can't seem to associate it with anything I eat or do. It'll happen anytime during the day and it is sooo random. It started out back in Feb. hurting once a day, then got so bad one night I went to the ER and after that for a couple weeks it was only mild, but for about the past month or so when it does hurt it is bad, probably about a 7 or 8 on scale from one to ten. Last week it didn't hurt much but this week Thursday it hurt and is hurting again today. I've been to the Dr. about it and had a ultrasound, CAT scan, Hida Scan and and upper GI scope done. All came back normal, but the GI scope said I had a mild case of gastritis. The guy who did it said it had be something else causing the pain. My Dr. and the surgeon all think it is possible gallbladder, but the surgeon won't take it out without a second opinion since all tests are normal. I'm going to see a specialist the 25th and see what he says. Oh yeah and I'm 26 years old and a little overweight. Does this sound like gallbladder problems or can you think of anything else it might possibly be??
