    I got my gallbladder taken out in December. I didn’t really comprehend the idea that I had a gallbladder before it was taken out, I didn’t feel it missing after it was taken out, and I don’t feel any different now that it’s gone.

    Thanks a lot for that one, God.

      because its just a storage sack for bile that the liver makes losing the gall bladder just means the bile gets injected into your digestive tract directly. (which is why initially, you may have bouts of diarrhea)

        And if there’s a God that designed us, he designed us so that it’s absolutely not needed even though gallbladder surgery didn’t exist for tens of thousands of years (or is it 6000?)

          keep in mind, people back then didnt live that long, so you were statistically dead by the time gall bladder problems would have probably arisen.
