Weight Loss After Gallbladder Surgery

Many people naturally lose weight after having their gallbladder removed. This is because, to avoid pain, people tend to change their diets after losing their gallbladder. When a person without a gallbladder eats a heavy, fatty meal he or she may begin to feel stomach pain shortly after. The stomach becomes upset because the liver is working hard to saturate the fat with bile. Normally, the gallbladder would work with the liver to ensure a smooth transition when digesting fats by storing excess bile.
