Do you know what a Gallbladder is?

To begin my story, below I am going to briefly explain the role and importance of the Gallbladder before I begin to emphasis the importance of health, fitness, and well-being when it has been removed.

The Gallbladder stores and concentrates bile from the liver, and releases into the small intestine to further digest food there.

It collects around 50mls of bile, which is discharged when food containing fat enters the digestive tract, stimulating the secretion of cholecystokinin (CCK-peptide hormone of the gastrointestinal system responsible for stimulating the digestion of fat and protein). The bile, produced in the liver, emulsifies fats and neutralizes acids in partly digested food.

After being collected in the Gallbladder, the bile becomes more concentrated than when it left the liver, increasing its potency and intensifying its effect on fats. Most digestion occurs in the upper intestine, or, the duodenum, where the bile is released.
