Living without a gallbladder? It’s like life without your favorite coffee mug—sure, you can manage, but it’s a bit of an adjustment! Your gallbladder’s job is to store bile, which helps with fat digestion. Without it, your body has to adjust and can still get by, but you might notice a few quirks in your digestion, especially after a big, greasy meal. Did you know that about 20% of people actually live gallbladder-free, and they manage just fine? It’s kind of like being a member of a special club where the initiation involves lots of veggies and a bit of trial and error with what you eat. So, while you might miss your gallbladder’s old job, your body is pretty good at adapting. Just think of it as one more adventure in your ongoing journey!
