Yes it can. The gallbladder stores bile and then secretes it when needed. Bile is used to digest fatty foods, and so if the gallbladder is removed, the person will have difficulty digesting meals that have a high fat content.
This results in a condition called steatorrhea where the fat is not absorbed and stays in the intestines leading to oily, foul smelling stools, and possibly an oily anal leakage jor fecal incontinence can occur. These symptoms can be greatly reduced if the person avoids a high fat diet.
Another complication is absorption of the fat soluble vitamins (A, E, D, and K), and as a result may need supplementation.

Gall bladder surgery does not usually cause any problems. Bile slowly trickles in the small bowel as it cannot be stored in the gall bladder and this excess of bile can result in diarrhoea in some patients.
Are weight gain vomiting diarrhea and abdominal pain symptoms of gallbladder disease?
The abdominal pain, fever, vomiting (green 'bile' from your stomach), and very light colored stools (or bowel movements) are symptoms of gall bladder disease. Many lose weight while they have gall bladder problems, because the bile (which comes from the liver and goes into the gall bladder) backs up into the stomach as it tries to digest certain foods (greasy foods, red meats, dairy products, products high in uric acids) and can make you very nauseous. Sometimes the gall or 'bile' in the gall bladder coagulates into stones (starting about the size of grains of sand, growing to marble sized stones) which can get stuck in the little tube leading from your liver to the gall bladder (the common bile duct). When this 'common bile duct is blocked', the 'bile' (which gives the brown coloring of bowel movements) can't get to the stomach to digest the food, this can be very painful, and can be lethal if your liver gets infected. SEE A DOCTOR, SOON.

What is biliary diskinesia?
As I found out today - (in simple terms) "the failure of the gall bladder". Several months ago I had rapid weight loss and constant bowel movements. I lost approx 15lbs before I went to the Dr. I never had any pain associated with this, but the Dr did state that some people can and do feel pain. The only cure for this is the removal of the gall bladder per my Dr. Noted there is no way to tell if and when the gall bladder will just shut down. Mine is currently opperating at 7%. Dr stated that the gall bladder will operate at this capacity until it shuts down. It will never increase or get better. So time to have removed....lol
