Green poop's normal: After the gallbladder is removed, there is no place to hold the bile that is still being produced in your liver. So, it passes directly through your intestines and leaves with the waste. It's green. So, the part is normal. But the fever should be mentioned to your surgeon/provider. At that time ask all the ?s you have about recovery and expectations. Call them ASAP, there can be complications.
