A member asked:
I had my gallbladder removed 6 months ago and i've had weight gain since the procedure. could this be related? i'm a healthy 33 yr old female.

Probably no: some people have trouble tolerating some fatty foods while gallbladder is inflamed or symptomatic. Once It is out you can enjoy all the foods that you could not before, so it is kind of related - but not gallbladders fault. Try to think about your diet and portion control.
