The gallbladder stores bile produced by the liver. Bile is used to emulsify fats, increasing the surface area to volume ratio of the fats, thus making them more easily broken down by lipases (enzymes that break down fats) and absorbed by the cells lining the intestine. Once your gallbladder is removed, you still produce bile in the liver and that bile can still arrive in your small intestine through the same bile duct that was previously attached to both liver and gallbladder. The duct remains, and thus the function of the gallbladder as storage of bile is lost, but the bile can still get to the small intestine.

sure, people get their gallbladder removed
It's probably not a bad idea.
It is removed and disposed of by the hospital along with other potentially biohazardous waste.
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.
Appendix
If your gallbladder was removed, any gallstones would be removed with it. The gallbladder is a lot like a pouch, and the stones would be enclosed inside of it.
Individual gall stones can be removed from the gallbladder. If there are too many gall stones, the gallbladder itself must be surgically removed.
Nope! You can live without it, but it might cause some complications without it.
Yes you can. In fact there are duodenal resection surgeries.
Gallbladder is situated in liver , which fills the space .
No. That would not be a side effect of gallbladder removal.
