Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
You are not alone as following gallbladder removal, there can be the dumping of bile which is now not as easily regulated and can send someone running to the bathroom immediately after eating. A more common side effect is a decrease in the secretion of bile. If the bile produced by the liver becomes thick and sluggish, painful symptoms and bile stones can occur. Bile stones can form in the liver as well as the gallbladder. The pain can occur even in the absence of stones any way in the biliary tract.
