Fast heart rate: You are concerned about bleeding after gallbladder surgery. Bleeding after gallbladder is extremely rare but can happen. Your body responds to blood loss by increasing the heart rate. Pain after surgery can also increase the great rate but resolves with pain control. Laporoscopic surgery allows better visualization to decrease chances of bleeding.
