Absolutely not! Most of the time it has no influence on your quality of life either.
No
An uncomplicated elective cholecystectomy (removal of the GB) has no effect on longevity. So no removing your GB will not shorten your life, but the lifestyle issues that led to having acute symptomatic GB disease will.
No, having your gallbladder removed does not typically shorten your life expectancy. Gallbladder removal surgery, also known as cholecystectomy, is a common and generally safe procedure performed to treat conditions such as gallstones or inflammation of the gallbladder. While there can be some potential risks and complications associated with the surgery, they are typically low in frequency and severity.
After gallbladder removal, most people can resume their normal activities and live a healthy life. However, it is important to maintain a balanced diet and make dietary adjustments to accommodate for the absence of the gallbladder. This may involve avoiding high-fat meals or gradually reintroducing fatty foods into your diet to assess tolerance. Consulting with your healthcare provider is recommended for personalized advice on managing life after gallbladder removal.
