Weight loss after gallbladder removal caused by weight loss

Hey all, I had my gallbladder out in Sept 2024 after losing 70lbs in under a year. It basically rotted and exploded due to the amount of stones in there. The ER surgeon said it was likely because of my extreme weight loss.

I have been maintaining the same weight since that surgery for the last year and a half or so, 185lbs. My goal has always been 165lbs, which means losing 20 more. I am finally ready to make the final push, just scared if it will cause problems.

Weight loss makes gallstones, but now I don’t have a gallbladder anymore to hold them, so could they end up in my liver duct and cause issues? Has anyone lost a lot of weight after losing a lot of weight and getting their gallbladder removed? I’m sure it’ll be fine but I made the mistake of googling it and would love some personal anecdotes.
