Does having your gallbladder removed cause weight gain?

Although there are many people who complain about this, there is no link with having gallbladder removed and weight gain.

There are some indirect links like:

After having your gallbladder removed, you may eat all the foods you weren’t allow due to gallbladder attacks. After being real careful about your diet and eating only low fat foods, any fat will certainly cause weight gain. That sounds like the most logical explanation.
Other cause could be not moving and exercising after the surgery.

You should definitely have your thyroid hormones checked to see if everything’s running smoothly or just see a doctor, report your problem and see what they might suspect or tell you

I had my gallbladder out 6 years ago. I did gain weight but had alot of digestinal problems. I have been able to lose weight off and on but it seems like more on than off.
