Why does pain still occur after gallbladder removal?
The gallbladder, located in the upper right abdomen, stores and releases bile produced by the liver, which aids in the digestion of fats and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins ( A , D , E , K , K2 ). After gallbladder removal, bile is no longer released in a concentrated manner, but is instead continuously secreted in small amounts by the liver, leading to decreased digestive efficiency and consequently causing the following symptoms:
- bloating
- Right shoulder pain (related to nerve reflexes)
- Decreased night vision
- Dry skin
- indigestion

Simple massage techniques to relieve postoperative pain
Dr. Berg suggests a simple contralateral massage technique:
- Locate the original location of the gallbladder (upper right abdomen).
- Press your thumb on the corresponding area on the left side of your abdomen (near the pancreas).
- Massage for about 2 minutes every day for a week.
- If the pain shifts to the liver area, press the corresponding area on the left side.
Although the mechanism of this method is not explained, it can effectively relieve postoperative discomfort in clinical practice.
Why is bile so important?
Bile not only assists in fat digestion, but also has the following functions:
- Absorb fat-soluble vitamins and phytonutrients (such as lutein, zeaxanthin, and carotene).
- Regulates cholesterol and hormones (such as stress hormones and testosterone).
- Helps detoxify and lubricate the intestines, preventing constipation.
- Supports thyroid function ( T4 to T3 conversion )
- Preventing fatty liver and gallstones
- Improve immunity, vision, skin and cardiovascular health
Problems caused by lack of bile
- Vitamin A deficiency : night blindness, sinus problems, weakened immunity
- Vitamin D deficiency : bone pain, depression, asthma
- Vitamin E deficiency : insufficient oxygen supply to the heart, infertility, and skin aging.
- Vitamin K1/K2 deficiency : prone to bruising, calcium buildup in joints and blood vessels
- Poor absorption of Omega-3 fatty acids : inflammation, difficulty in tissue repair.
Suggested addition: Bile support formula
If your gallbladder has been removed, it is recommended to supplement with a formula containing "purified bile salts" after meals, which can help:
- Simulate gallbladder function
- Improve the absorption of fats and fat-soluble nutrients
- Preventing long-term nutritional deficiencies and metabolic problems

Conclusion: Postoperative care is not limited to wound healing.
Although the gallbladder is not an essential organ, its function is crucial to overall health. Neglecting the effects of insufficient bile after surgery can lead to a series of chronic problems. Simple massage and nutritional supplements can effectively improve postoperative discomfort and maintain bodily functions. Gallbladder removal is just the beginning; true care is only just starting.
