Bil is produced in the liver, not in the gall bladder. It is merely stored in the gall bladder. Someone with their gall bladder removed (not referred to as amputated) will have some dietary restritions, such as moderating their fat intake, since bile is important in digestion of lipids.
If you are a medical student and did not know that, you have more serious issues than needing help from yahoo answers.

You need to review your basic anatomy and physiology if you are a medical student.
Bile is produced by the liver and stored in the gall bladder where it is released in response to fatty food entering the digestive tract. Bile in the gall bladder undergoes concentration and thereby becomes more 'potent'.
Removal of the gall bladder does not affect bile production at all. One major complication during surgery is injury to the common bile duct which can cause leak of the bile into the abdominal cavity leading to acute inflammation.

Bile is produced in the liver its only stored in the Gall Bladder. The job of the Gall Bladder is to release bile when your digestive system needs it. With no bladder now the bile flows freely from the liver when its produced and beleive me it can be a pain in the A$$ literally. Well lets just say when ya gotta go ya gotta GO!!!

The bile will be produced in the liver and passes on to the intestine through the common bile duct. But it will not be stored as was previously done in the gall bladder. However a small percentage of patients may reform stones in the common bile duct or in the stump of the cystic duct which has been left behind.

Bile is produced by the liver, stored in the gallbladder, and released into the small intestine where food is digested. If the gallbladder is removed, the bile is still produced by the liver and it will go directly to the stomach, where it waits for food to digest.
If you truly were a med student, you'd know this.

You get a shot of bile from the liver and the pancreas. After the removal of a gall bladder, this shot of bile can cause diarrhoea in people (and usually does) after eating something fatty. Patients can still get stones even after their gall bladders are removed as well.

I am in agreement with the astonishment voiced here that this alleged medical student (in the US, medical student would indicate someone studying to be a doctor) has not the resources, either internally or externally, to find this most simple of information out.
IF this is indeed true (that this individual is studying to be a doctor), it goes a long way to explaining why modern medicine is in trouble, both with insurance companies and general perception/trust issues.
I urge you to seek another career.

Both the Liver and the Pancreas will produce enough enzymes as well as the stomach to aid in the proper digestion of foods.

I knew that bile was produced in the liver, and I'm a student. (waaaayyyy before college)
Im sorry, but shouldn't you know that?
Well, at any rate, thanks for asking a question that I could answer. It made me feel really smart! (not that I'm not, but it still feels good)
