I had my gallbladder removed as part of liver donation surgery over 20 years ago and have never had any digestive issues - and I eat everything.

  Similar here, I had stones, they took it out, like 10 years ago. I don’t think about at all, I do have some digestive issues from time to time but I can’t even really correlate it to what I eat.
  Btw. - worst pain ever. Allegedly worse than giving birth, although I don’t have a way to confirm.

    Honestly felt like something trying to rip through my chest at one point. I don't recommend it.
    I was quite in touch with my God during my attempt to drive myself to the ER. Looking back, I was probably in danger of meeting Him had I driven for more than a few minutes. Grateful I wasn't far.

    This is the only universe where you still make that comment.

    You may be exactly right about that. All the more reason for all of us to take care of ourselves.
