A member asked:
Does removal of gallbladder effects the digestive process of the body? and does it harm any function of the body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Overall it does not : At times people have difficulty tolerating fatty foods after cholecystectomy. Some patients also complain of having bowel movements somewhat urgently after eating. For the most part people with chronic gallbladder disease feel much better after having their gallbladders removed.
