The gallbladder is a sac located under the liver. It stores and concentrates the bile produced in the liver and that is released in response to food.
We never learned anything about the weight of the gallbladder and, outside of maybe a medical examiner, I doubt anyone else knows either. It is totally possible the medical examiner doesn't even know since, during an autopsy, it is probably weighed in conjunction with the liver and not separately.
The liver weighs approximately 3 pounds.

The gallbladder is a small pear-shaped organ that stores and concentrates bile. It is connected to the liver (which produces the bile) by the hepatic duct. It is approximately 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) long and about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide.
That is all I could find.
