Frequently Asked Questions
Can I live normally without a gallbladder?
Yes, most people digest food normally without a gallbladder, though some experience mild changes in fat digestion or looser stools, especially after fatty meals, in the initial period.
How long is the hospital stay?
Typically just 1-2 days for laparoscopic surgery, often even same-day discharge in straightforward cases.
Will my diet need to change permanently?
Most people can eventually return to a normal diet, though some choose to moderate very fatty or greasy foods, especially in the weeks right after surgery.
What if I have gallstones without symptoms?
Asymptomatic gallstones found incidentally often don't require surgery unless there are specific risk factors your doctor identifies; discuss your specific case with a surgeon.
How soon can I return to work?
Most people return to desk-based work within a week, with heavier physical activity resuming over the following couple of weeks.
