Ok, without any other information, if you simply had your gall bladder removed, then a quick check online shows that medical science considers it a relatively simple operation, with modest side effects, none of which - interestingly - seem to be needing to pee a lot!

Given what you say about your doctor, the reason he didn't say anything is that it is an unexpected (not bad, just unexpected) side effect. The site I looked at, the official NHS (UK health service) page on the matter mentions Diarrhoea, (bum problem, opposite of constipation), but not pee.

Any operation, hell - even sex, or having a smoke - can induce peeing, and it can be disconcerting, but it's one of those things.

Your gall bladder was taken out, not your (pee) bladder! I am surprised that you note the operation was (US Date style, I presume) 1st of september (if it was 9th January I would be alarmed, not surprised), some weeks ago. I would have assumed that everything was stablised by now. I can't help wondering if you might have a separate (even if contracted at the same time) urinary infection.

I suggest you consider a visit to a urologist, a specialist in urinary issues, or perhaps seek a second opinion from a new and unrelated doctor or clinic.
