    What would be the sypmtoms? I each pretty much everything, didn't change my diet and don't take any medicine.

      As someone that's been putting the surgery off for years, from what I can tell most people have basically zero symptoms afterwards, and those that do still aren't overly bothered by them, but there is a small but real percentage of people that have lots of digestive problems afterwards.

        Was worried it would be worse, all i get from it is that stuff with a lot of fats might cause more frequent visits to the bathroom (something one might not want to eat anyway all that often), before i could not eat a slice of pizza without an attack.

        YMMV, people are individuals.

          honestly, it's probably worth frequent bathroom visits if you don't get the gallbladder attacks.
