It sure did for me :( (and having looked around - I see hundreds of people have said the same thing.
Medically - it shouldn't. My surgeon said it was impossible for it to cause insomnia - but I had mine out 4 months ago, and haven't had a good night's sleep (unmedicated) since.
After the gallbladder is removed, the space left behind is filled with surrounding tissues and organs. The body adjusts to the absence of the gallbladder by redistributing bile production and storage functions to the liver and small intestine. Most people can live a normal, healthy life without their gallbladder.
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.
Yes we can. Removal of the gallbladder does not mean the patient cannot continue to have a normal life. However - a change in diet to a low-fat alternative would be advisable - as the bile produced by the gallbladder is used to process fat in our diet.
sure, people get their gallbladder removed
No. That would not be a side effect of gallbladder removal.
cholecystectomy
this is not an answer, but another person looking for that answer. I have a sister who had her gallbladder removed then years later developed PBC ,but her twin sister didnt have her gallbladder removed and doesnt have PBC
The normal function numbers for the gallbladder include: Gallbladder ejection fraction: 35% to 75% Gallbladder fasting volume: 20 to 50 milliliters Gallbladder residual volume: Less than 10 milliliters
bile
Surgical clips are necessary when getting your gallbladder removed. When your gallbladder is removed, it leaves an opening in your common bile duct. Normally this opening is where the liver pumps bile into for storage in the gallbladder. Since you no longer have a gallbladder, if this opening was not sealed with surgical clips, your liver would essentially be pumping bile into your abdomen.
i had gallbladder removed in march 2009, ive lost 4 stones since without dieting or excercise???? no one knows why
