What are the effects on my body after gallbladder removal?

The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile secreted by the body's liver, and when eating, the gallbladder contracts to release the stored bile to help digest food. Surgery is required when the gallbladder produces polyps, stones, or other conditions, and the removal of the gallbladder may have these effects on the body

1. Indigestion: The gallbladder is an organ that stores bile and can secrete bile, which has the function of promoting digestion.

2. Gastritis and esophagitis: after gallbladder resection, a large amount of bile continues to enter the intestine, and a large amount of bile accumulates in the intestine and is easy to reflux into the stomach, which will lead to a rise in pH value and bacterial reproduction in the long run, thus forming reflux gastritis and esophagitis;

3. Hepatobiliary stones: the gallbladder has the ability to concentrate bile, and the concentrated bile can dissolve cholesterol in the body, and the solubility of cholesterol in the body is reduced after gallbladder resection, which is easy to cause cholesterol accumulation, thus forming hepatobiliary stones;

4. Colon cancer: the liver can secrete primary bile acid, which enters the intestine and is converted into secondary bile acid by contact with bacteria, and the secondary bile acid enters the intestine after gallbladder resection, which will cause the concentration of secondary bile acid to increase and increase the probability of colon cancer in the long run.

After cholecystectomy, the wound should be kept clean and dry to avoid infection; After surgery, it is necessary to pay attention to rest and avoid strenuous activities; Try to eat as light as possible and avoid spicy, greasy foods.

The function of the gallbladder is to store and concentrate bile in preparation for the discharge of bile into the duodenum after eating to aid digestion. The main role of bile is to digest fats. After gallbladder removal, there is no "storage place" for bile, but over time, the bile ducts can compensately enlarge, partially replacing the gallbladder.

However, because the bile ducts do not have the ability to concentrate bile, thin bile is less able to digest fats. Patients may experience symptoms of indigestion after eating fat-rich foods.

Nowadays, there are many cases of gallbladder removal, and the gallbladder has no compensatory mechanism, and the bile duct can be dilated, and the wall of the tube can be thickened, which plays the role of the gallbladder. But it is still recommended to be infatuated and eat less greasy food.

What are the effects after gallbladder removal? This question is different for each patient, and it still depends on the specific diagnosis.

Most of the effects are not very large, but some people can cause reflux gastritis and reflux esophagitis, and the blood bilirubin is also high. Because the gallbladder is cut, but the liver secretes bile as usual, there is no organ to store bile. If the gallbladder stones are relatively large, or other ones, they still need to be removed, to prevent necrosis of the gallbladder caused by inflammation, to avoid greasy diet, try to be light, and do not be impatient.

After I had my gallbladder removed in '05, it didn't have any effect on my health, and now my digestive function is the same as normal. However, in the early postoperative period, it is necessary to pay attention to eating small and frequent meals, and to increase the type and quantity of food gradually, and never overeat. In this way, after three or four months of recuperation, they basically eat like normal people, I wish you an early **!
