Problems After Gallbladder Removal

I had mine removed about three years ago and haven't looked back. I had it removed because gallstones were blocking the bile duct and the pain from that was horrendous. I had the wonderful keyhole op and was pain free from the surgery. I think everyone reacts differently as we all have different biomes but the only very minor issue I have had is that food with a lot of tomato or fat seems to pass through me very quickly. I can live with that....but I couldn't have gone on living with gall bladder pain! Good luck, take it gently and you'll soon learn what works for you.

I had my gallbladder removed 15 years ago and I have had no issues with digestion or anything else. I admit that I don’t have the healthiest diet, but I’m feeling fit and have no other problems.

I am due to have my gallbladder removed in a few weeks due to polyps which were found when I was being checked out for something else. I have been researching the side effects of living without a gallbladder and it seems from a lot of the chat rooms and forums that a lot of people have on going digestive issues. There is also a lot of talk mobile salts, digestive enzymes and vitamin deficiencies and weight gain. Would be good to know if there Is anyone out there who has had this procedure and has not had any issues as am becoming quite anxious.
