Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common concerns regarding the procedure, safety, and hospital directives:

Q: Can I digest food normally without a gallbladder?▼
Yes. The gallbladder only stores bile produced by the liver. After its removal, the liver continues to produce bile, which flows directly into the small intestine. Your digestion will return to normal quickly.
Q: What are the risks of leaving gallstones untreated?▼
Untreated gallstones can block the bile duct, causing severe pain, jaundice, acute cholecystitis (gallbladder inflammation), or dangerous infections like cholangitis and acute pancreatitis.
Q: How long is the hospital stay for laparoscopic gallbladder surgery?▼
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is typically performed as a daycare or 24-hour procedure. Most patients are discharged either on the same evening or the next morning.
Q: What diet should I follow after gallbladder removal?▼
For the first 1-2 weeks, we recommend a low-fat, easily digestible diet. Avoid heavy, greasy, or highly fried foods to prevent temporary bloating or loose stools as your system adjusts.
