If i had my gallbadder out and now i'm having orange stool that is oiley what does that mean?

Fat malabsorption : Oily stool that floats is classic for malabsorption. This is usually more indicative of chronic pancreatic disorders than gallbladder issues. Talk to your doctor about having some tests done to see if you are truly not absorbing.
