Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Gallstones do not go away on their own. Some can be temporarily managed by making dietary adjustments, such as reducing fat intake. This treatment has short-term success rate. Symptoms will eventually continue unless the gallbladder is removed.
Removal of gall bladder is called cholecystectomy, this operation is normally done by laproscopic approach
You can lead a perfectly normal life without a gallbladder. Your liver will still produce bile to digest food. You should aim to have a healthy well-balanced diet (including some fats)
You should make some small adjustments to your diet, such as:
1.If you experience symptoms such as indigestion, bloating, flatulence or diarrhea avoid foods such as spicy and fatty foods
2. Avoid drinks containing caffeine – such as coffee and tea
3. Gradually increase your intake of fibre by foods such as fresh fruit and vegetables, wholegrain rice, wholewheat pasta and bread, seeds, nuts and oats.

Don't worry you would be fine
Hoping your query is solved.
