Other than the usual complications from gallbladder surgery, the biggest risk is that the patient will still experience pain as if the gallbladder was still there, along with diarrhea. Gallbladder surgery removes the galbladder but re-routes the tube so that bile salts are still excreted to help digest food. This creates a dumping effect, rather than the normal and repetitive squeezing and release which a galbladder does.

A medication of bile salts taken at meals often helps remove the stress on an aging or diseased galbladder. urisodiol is one such med. It has some side effects. For example, you must learn how much med effectively helps digest the amount of fats in foods. So, if you eat too much fatty food in one meal, the galbladder pain can be as severe as if no med was taken. However, if you'd take too much of the bile salts for the amount of fat in a meal, you could have a bout of diarrhea lasting about 24 hours which will go away on its own. Ask your doctor about trying bile salt medication before deciding to have surgery. The med has a brand name version and a generic and one is usually covered by insurance.
