For those you who had their gallbladder removed

I am getting mine removed in May, I have oftened heard that after it is removed many people have trouble with food going right through them is that true?

I haven't noticed any difference in my digestive system since having my gallbladder out (it came out at about 2.5 years post-op and I am coming up on 6 years out).  I cannot imagine why food would "go right through you" other than if you eat a really high fat meal (since we don't digest fats as well without a gallbladder), but you shouldn't be eating high fat meals anyway after RNY.

I had mine removed years before my RNY.
The only food that went right thru me was anything with a bit of fat... because your gallbladder makes bile, which emulsifies fat- AKA breaks it down into small enough particles that it can be absorbed in the intestines. No bile means the fat hits the intestines and is not able to be broken down as well as before, which results in fatty diarrhea.
Post RNY you are probably eating significantly less fat, so much less likely to have this problem.I say PROBABLY because not everyone limits fats...

My experience was the same but I had mine many, many years ago, before RNY was even a twinkle in my eye.

Like the previous posters said, I never experienced food running right through me unless the meal was high in fat.

I had my gallbladder out over a year ago and I've had no digestive trouble at all.
Take care

I had mine removed 4.5 yrs ago. No specific food makes me ill however if I were to go long periods of time without eating, whatever I ate next would go right through me (regardless of fat content). Since my RNY 3 months ago, it hasn't been a problem for me.

If you eat anything with fat in it, yes it goes right through

 

 

I had mine removed 15 years before my RNY, And I have always had problems no matter what I ate.. Everyone is different though!!
