What else can I help you with?
Can the stomach function normally without the gallbladder?
sure, people get their gallbladder removed
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.
Should gallbladder be removed is function is 40 percent?
It's probably not a bad idea.
What happens to the gallbladder during a cholecystectomy?
It is removed and disposed of by the hospital along with other potentially biohazardous waste.
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.
how is your liver affected if your gallbladder was removed years ago?
If your gallbladder has been removed, the liver continues to produce bile, but it is released directly into the small intestine rather than being stored in the gallbladder. This can lead to changes in digestion, particularly in fat absorption, as bile is less concentrated. Over time, the liver may adapt to this change, but some individuals may experience digestive issues or altered metabolism. Overall, while the liver itself is not directly harmed by gallbladder removal, its function in digestion may be affected.
Where are gallstones located if your gallbladder is removed?
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.
What should I do if I get a gallbladder attack?
Individual gall stones can be removed from the gallbladder. If there are too many gall stones, the gallbladder itself must be surgically removed.
Why can someone live a normal life if their gallbladder gets removed?
The gallbladder is not essential for survival as its main function is to store bile produced by the liver. Without a gallbladder, bile is continuously produced and released into the digestive system, allowing a person to still digest food normally. Some people may experience changes in digestion or need to make dietary adjustments after gallbladder removal, but most can lead a normal life.
Is the gallbladder necessary?
Nope! You can live without it, but it might cause some complications without it.
Does having your gallbladder removed make you fat?
No. That would not be a side effect of gallbladder removal.
Does bile stop being synthesized when people have their gallbladder removed?
No, bile production does not stop when a person has their gallbladder removed. The liver continues to produce bile, but without the gallbladder, bile is not stored and concentrated. Instead, bile flows directly from the liver into the small intestine continuously, which can affect digestion, particularly of fats. Most people adapt over time, but some may experience digestive issues post-surgery.
