Because gallstones often recur, your doctor may recommend surgery to remove the gallbladder. After your gallbladder is removed, bile flows directly from your liver to your small intestine, rather than being stored in your gallbladder.
You do not need a gallbladder to live, and removal of the gallbladder does not affect your ability to digest food, but it can cause diarrhea (diarrhea), which is usually temporary.
