How does the removal of the gallbladder affect digestion and overall health?

The removal of the gallbladder can affect digestion by reducing the body's ability to properly digest fats. This can lead to symptoms such as diarrhea, bloating, and indigestion. Overall health may be impacted by nutrient deficiencies and an increased risk of developing gallstones in the future. It is important to follow a healthy diet and lifestyle after gallbladder removal to manage these effects.
