Many people need to have their gall bladders removed. You can live without your gall bladder. See the related link below for information about the conditions that lead to surgery, the surgery, the recovery and much more information on the topic.
Millions of people do, after having had a cholecystectomy (gall bladder removal, surgically). Even though some digestive enzymes are lost, the pancreas still produces some of them and, along with the digestive juices of the stomach, foods are processed farily well. The only limitation is with heavy fatty meals. Often there is poor processing of fats, after such meals, resulting in steatorhhea (fatty stools).
