Having my gallbladder removed - will my life be different after?
Everyone has a different experience after gallbladder removal. MOST (>90%) have no issues whatsoever. You should be able to eat whatever you want and not avoid anything long term. Up to about 20% of patients may have some diarrhea or bloating sensations after surgery but usually not for more than a few weeks. Reducing fatty foods after surgery may help with this IF it occurs. All in all, you shouldn't feel any different after surgery except that your gallbladder is no longer bothering you. READ MORE
Off and on lower right abdominal pain
It maybe your appendix. Some people have what is called 'chronic' appendicitis. It's not so painful to land them in the hospital but can be lingering for months and even years. It may not be your appendix at all. If you're a woman it may be related to an ovarian cyst. Other causes can be inflammation of your colon, ureter stone, Crohn's disease , etc. Best way to know for sure is to see a surgeon or your primary care physician so they can figure it out from your history and perhaps some other test.

Can a colostomy bag ever be removed?
Most of the time it can be removed (i.e. Reversed ). The only time it can not be or should not be reversed if it there is no anus/rectum left. If the rectum and anus were removed then it can't be reversed. Situations where the patient has terminal cancer, severe wounds around the anus, bowel blockage or extremely sick and wouldn't be a great surgical candidate then the colostomy shouldn't be reversed.
