Welcome to Mayo Connect!
There are quite a few of us with gallbladder problems.
Many of us have had it removed and still experience symptoms- especially after eating fatty foods.
There are also many who feel great afterwards.
Another group will wait and see.
I agree that you should discuss this with your medical care team.
As long as you don’t experience severe pain or illness you wouldn’t have to rush to the ER but contact your doctor.
Surgery is usually recommended when gallbladder disease is diagnosed when the patient is a good candidate for surgery instead of waiting until there is an acute emergency and the patient is not such a good candidate for surgery.
By the way, my husband developed acute pancreatitis secondary gallstones 6 months ago. He had the surgery and has done very well- except once when he ate a lot of buttercream cake!
