A Bad Gall Bladder Was the Reason I Wasn't Losing the Weight
Replies

I had my gal bladder out in 2012. It was the size of a baseball and filled with stones. My pain, once it hit, was constant until it was removed.
I gained weight while I still had my gal bladder, and lost weight while I still had my gal bladder. I gained weight without my gal bladder and lost weight without my gal bladder! It did not make a difference to me at all.0 -
Has anyone had issues with GAINing weight after they had their gallbladder removed?Has anyone ever gained weight after having their gallbladder removed? I was steadily losing weight, doing really well in my routine and since my surgery 4 months ago I have gained 10 of my 30 pounds back I am back to my normal food and gym routine and still GAINING weight.
Certainly. After I had mine removed, I didn't have to be as mindful about food intake anymore.
I still have attacks, once or twice a year, usually out of the blue, but I know I have to be careful with eggs and certain raw vegetables.
This whole thread is insane, the necro bit is nothing If what you eat isn't broken down and digested properly, you won't gain additional weight from that! But if you change your diet, and that includes eating fewer calories than you burn, yes, you'll lose weight!1 -

Yep, I lost nearly 7 stone, had my gallbladder taken out, now regained 2.7 stone.

I've lost 160+ lbs. Half was before removal and half was after. I had one gain immediately after surgery that was no doubt from fluids. I had no idea my GB was bad until I had one nasty attack and elevated liver enzymes. Surgeon said it was like a beanbag.
Soooooo....I don't think it has much effect at all on weight loss or gain. If you have chronic issues and avoid food, it makes sense you might GAIN after removal. Also, a severely diseased gallbladder or lack of one means you may not be fully digesting fats, so you would think that could save a few calories either way.1 -
I had a gall bladder attack 2 weeks ago, I have not been the same since. I know because I have had one before, extremely painful, but was able to take a shot of apple cider vinegar and wait the 5 hours for the pain to go away. My mother died in March of Bile duct cancer. She had always had problems with her gall bladder. Although I am not over weight, I have weighed the same 118 lbs for 27 years. I have put on 9 lbs. in these 2 weeks, I have done nothing different, so this is FREAKING me out. Is this weight gain from my gall bladder attack, if so, what do I do? I have stopped eating any fried greasy foods like I ate the day I had it. I drink NO soda or carbonated drinks, like I said, nothing different, this weight gain is killing me! what do I do?0

It's most likely fluid retention, not a gain of fat. The fluids are from inflammation/infection in your body. You might consider seeing a doctor instead of drinking ACV. Just a thought.
To put your mind at ease, weight gain generally is not a sign of cancer. Unexplained weight loss could be.0 -

The article in the above link states gallbladder disease can be related to constipation and weight gain.0
