What can happen to me after gallbladder removal?

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a very safe procedure. The complications are very few. You will be able tolerate a normal diet after the procedure. Few patients may have increased frequency of stools initially which improves in the subsequent days. Surgical complications are rare most important being bile duct injury which occurs in <0.75% of total surgeries.

What are the symptoms of gallstones?

Typical symptoms of gallstones are pain in the right upper abdomen which radiates to back and may be associated with vomiting. The pain is typically aggravated by the fatty food intake. A minority of the patients present with symptoms of hyperacidity. Sometimes if the stone slips into the bile duct patient may have jaundice or acute pancreatitis.

When should I get operated with acute cholecystitis?

If it is uncomplicated cholecystitis and your surgeon is experienced enough, it can be operated within 2-3 days of attack of acute cholecystitis. But if the duration is longer from the day of attack of pain, it is preferable to wait for 4-6 weeks and then get operated (called as interval cholecystectomy).

I have gallstones, can gallbladder cancer develop in it?

There is no direct evidence linking gallstones with gallbladder cancer. ~97% of the gallbladder cancers have stones in it but on long term follow up <3% of gallstone patients will develop cancer. Single large stone > 3cm size is considered to be a risk but no concrete evidence is still available.
