Does the removal of gallbladder cause weight gain?

Cholecystectomy or gallbladder removal surgery is the only treatment option available for getting rid of gallstones. The gallbladder plays an active role in the digestive system by acting as a storage area for bile. When it is removed entirely, it definitely imposes certain changes in our digestive pattern.

One of the possible outcomes after gallbladder removal is weight gain albeit rare. Weight gain after gallbladder removal surgery occurs due to metabolic changes, bad diet, faulty fat digestion, and insulin resistance in the case of diabetic patients. It needs to be understood that the main culprit is the bad diet pattern. One needs to understand that no stored bile is available and hence the fatty food or large feasts need to be digested by the bile secreted in real-time. So if the diet is not distributed as small meals through the day or if the patient has the habit of consuming large meals even after the gallbladder removal surgery, the patient is susceptible to weight gain. On the other hand, if the patient follows a diet pattern and also does physical workout, the chances of a weight gain are very remote even after a Cholecystectomy.
