Why can you live without your gallbladder and what is its main function?
You can live without a gallbladder because the gallbladder is just a pouch for the enzymes that break down fats. Your liver actually makes these enzymes, and it will continue to make the enzymes after the gallbladder is removed.
What happens to the gallbladder during a cholecystectomy?
It is removed and disposed of by the hospital along with other potentially biohazardous waste.
Could a cell function normally without glucose?
no
Will you have trouble moving bowel without a gallbladder?
Yes and No. Yes - if you just underwent a gallbladder surgery. It will take some time for your digestive system to adjust because there's no longer a gallbladder that will store the bile. So, the bile will flow continuously. No - if your body had adjusted to the digestion process. Just like me, I'm living without a gallbladder and I don't have problems with it. Just be careful with the food you eat, it might trigger a stomach discomfort or even a diarrhea.
Which is more severe to have removed the pancreas or stomach or gallbladder?
Wow, that's a hard one. Definitely the least severe is the gallbladder, but it is a dice toss for the other two... both require radical changes in lifestyle. The prognosis is possibly worse for life without a pancreas, since you would have to be on so many medications the rest of your life... but the lifestyle change might be worse for stomach removal, since you would have to radically change the way that you eat, and learn to reevaluate life without hunger... keeping yourself going through habit rather than having that hint. :) I guess I vote for stomach, but I hope I never have to lose my pancreas or my stomach. The gallbladder wasn't a big deal at all. :)
What part of body work with stomach?
You're probably referring to the gallbladder. The gallbladder sits under the liver and produces/stores extra bile, it is an unessential organ of the body and can be removed without consequences.

What characteristics does an abnormal gallbladder nuclear medicine scan have?
A normal scan shows a gallbladder without gallstones. There will be no evidence of growths or tumors, and no signs of infection or swelling. The normal gallbladder fills with bile and secretes it through the bile duct without blockages.
Is the gallbladder necessary?
Nope! You can live without it, but it might cause some complications without it.
Where to get stomach transplant?
Its like any other transplant you hear of, except with a stomach. Doctors surgically remove your stomach and replace with another healthier one.
Why is it okay to remove the gallbladder?
The gallbladder is a small sac underneath your liver that stores and secretes bile, a digestive fluid that breaks down fats. Since bile is actually produced by the liver, it's possible to survive without a gallbladder, but not without unpleasant digestive tract complications.
