I have a bi-annual U/S myself. I also recently had my Gall Bladder removed. It sounds to me that her questions were very typical and if anything truly alarming was discovered you'd be immediately admitted to the hospital. Don't worry too much, but definitely follow-up with your Dr. to alleviate your nerves.
