I know some have stated that they've noticed nausea and other side effects. This could be due to a certain "placebo" effect. Basically, mind over matter. I began taking Ocella in place of Yasmin, and have not had any side effects.

I don't believe you.
Old Navy is made by the same company that makes Banana Republic, but the quality is most assuredly not the same.

Through insurance, they make me go through their mail-order thing. Otherwise they make it more expensive to go and get it from the pharmacy. So when I order my Yasmin, they send me 3 months worth at a time. I haven't gotten anything saying I'm being switched to Ocella yet.

Does anyone know anything about this Yasmin/Yaz/Ocella lawsuit? It mentions gallbladder disease. I didn't know that birth control can affect your gallbladder. I had to have mine out last year because it wasn't functioning correctly. I'm curious if anyone has any info or experience with this lawsuit. Should I worry more now?

I haven't heard about this lawsuit, but I've been on Yasmin for almost 5 years now, and I had to get my gallbladder removed last year. The pain started just after I got the first HPV shot, and I linked it to that, as it was too coincidental that I got the shots and the pain started within the next few days. Now I'm wondering if it was due to my birth control...I'm definitely going to see what I can find out.

I've seen some commercials while watching the Wendy Williams Show with a law firm one can call, likely to enter into a class action law suit. I am sure you can google and find the firms that are finding people who have had problems.

That's what I did but all the sites really mention is the possible side effects. I don't see how they can correlate having your gallbladder out with birth control? I've heard that gallbladder removal was common. I have been on Yasmin/Ocella for about 6 years.

It isn't THAT common...and if a lot of people on any medication are having it done, that would definitely raise a red flag.
