No: Removing gall bladder does not affect a person's health, other than the effects of anesthesia and surgical trauma. Wish you and your mother good health. You may consult this site for information on this topic: http://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/cholecystectomy/home/ovc-20229995

Fatty foods: As she would be missing the normal bonus release of bile that is ejected from a normally functioning gallbladder after a meal, her ability to digest fatty foods would be worse than when she would have had her gallbladder. So, eating fatty foods will result in bloating, discomfort and malabsorption. In this context, a low-fat diet is advised. Otherwise, she’ll be fine.
