What kind of problems can happen after the removal of gall bladder?

I had mine out.. it isn't that bad. Most common side effect is frequent diarrhea while your body adjusts. For me that was pretty much gone after a year. I can eat whatever I want with nothing strange happening. There are an extremely small number of cases where a stone had already made it into the liver and that can set up a bad scenario. However gallbladder removal has a less than 1% chance of serious complication. I looked it up before I had mine out. Anyway, I had it out and went home early the next morning. Just eat a bland diet like soup and pudding for a few days and ease into more robust foods. The only thing I used to be able to eat and now cannot is beets, and I can even have small portions of those.
