Evry year more than half a million pple undergo gllbladder surgery in usa.so how many people of total population r living lives without a gallbladder?

Don't know: Who would keep track of those statistics. Many millions living in us that have had gallbladder surgery i would guess. As about 8-10% of people in us get gallstones & the us poultation is 313 million, so some number less than 30 million may be expected purely by calculation.
