A member asked:

I had open gallbladder removed out over a year ago but now my stomach is big. i have a fat pad in there and hate it. is this caused from surgery?

Unrelated: probably you are not eating before due to gall bladder attacks , now you are free , no longer has pain , eating better ( more ) , additional factor lack of exercise . If it is the cause modify your life style , be more active with exercises and healthy balanced diet.
