Do You Lose Weight After Gallbladder Surgery?

From what i have heard, some people have, but most people actually struggle with fat metabolization after this surgery.  The gallbladder helps to digest fats.  Fats are extremely important to our diet and actually provide the body with needed energy to be able to burn calories.  Removing fats from the diets, therefore, does not equal weight loss. In the case of some people, it would seem that fat metabolism is not occurring as much and the body is missing out on some important nutrition.  This may account to a slow, steady weight gain over the time that follows the gallbladder removal.  I found a pertinent discussion that involves people who have undergone this surgery. See what they have to say at this SteadyHealth blog.
