What happens after the gallbladder is removed. Are there food restrictions? Medications after surgery? I have gallbladder polyps. But I recently injured my rib/stomach and the doctor thinks it s the gallbladder flaring up. I m not so sure. But for now, what happens when it is gone, if that is what he decides.
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. No food restriction after surgery for gall bladder is usually necessary. Days with excess fat content, mild diarrhea, might happen.2. Ultrasound of abdomen will help in confirmation of any gallbladder flare up.3. If the polyps are causing any obstruction, serum alkaline phosphatase and indirect bilirubin levels will also be elevated along with pale stools.4. Not to worry, mild fat malabsorption might occur. Otherwise, everything else will be normal. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
