After a cholecystectomy, which is the surgical removal of the gallbladder, a person may experience difficulty in digesting fats. The gallbladder stores bile, which is necessary for fat digestion; without it, bile flows directly from the liver to the small intestine in a less concentrated form. This can lead to symptoms such as diarrhea, bloating, and abdominal discomfort, especially after consuming fatty meals. Over time, many individuals adjust to these changes and may find ways to manage their diet to alleviate symptoms.
