Wow, that's a hard one. Definitely the least severe is the gallbladder, but it is a dice toss for the other two... both require radical changes in lifestyle. The prognosis is possibly worse for life without a pancreas, since you would have to be on so many medications the rest of your life... but the lifestyle change might be worse for stomach removal, since you would have to radically change the way that you eat, and learn to reevaluate life without hunger... keeping yourself going through habit rather than having that hint. :) I guess I vote for stomach, but I hope I never have to lose my pancreas or my stomach. The gallbladder wasn't a big deal at all. :)

How will the removal of pancreas affect digestion?
The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes that aid digestion in the small intestines; the removal of the pancreas would make it much more difficult to digest food.

Such a person would also suffer from severe diabetes, since the pancreas is also the organ that secretes insulin, and a person without a pancreas would require insulin injections as well.
