Today I want to cover the potential complications of having your gallbladder removed. Some people believe that a person doesn’t really need their gallbladder, so there’s not going to be any complications. However, over 700,000 surgeries are done every year to remove the gallbladder, and 40% of people who have their gallbladder removed have complications.
Bile is made by your liver, it drains through a tube, and is stored in the gallbladder. When you eat, you need less bile to digest food because it’s very concentrated. Without a gallbladder, all you have is a tube from your liver to the small intestines, and the bile trickles, but it’s not concentrated.
Typically, the complications from not having a gallbladder have to do with a lack of bile. There are exceptions, but in this video, I want to talk about the symptoms that occur because of a lack of bile. Bile is like a detergent. It is both water-soluble and fat-soluble. Bile breaks down fats into smaller particles to allow the pancreas to release an enzyme to make it easier to digest and absorb it in the intestine.
Potential complications of having your gallbladder removed:
1. You can’t digest fats
2. Constipation
3. Diarrhea
4. Gas
5. Bloating
6. Stomach pain
7. Yellow skin or eyes
8. Hypothyroid symptoms
9. Right shoulder tightness
10. Tightness under the right ribcage
11. Dry eyes and skin
12. Vision changes
What you could do if you experience complications:
• Take purified bile salts
