See your surgeon: Loose stools and diarrhea after gallbladder surgery can be effectively managed with a bile acid binding resin medication in many cases. Questran (cholestyramine) is a brand name. See your surgeon about this, and consider upper and lower endoscopy as well for a complete evaluation of your GI tract.
