He'll feel crappy for about a week. Side effect, He won't be able to eat any greasy foods without getting the runs for about 6 months. Other than that, that is pretty much it. I had my gall bladder removed in 2001.

He'll be sore for a while, the main thing is to modify his diet in future - he won't be able to digest fats very well, and if he eats fats, he'll have some unpleasant consequences! His diet should be low in saturated fats, and he should try to eat 5-6 small meals, not 3 larger ones.
As he can no longer absorb the fat soluble vitamins A, D, K, he should take supplements and perhaps bile salts to aid digestion.
I'm attaching a link for the type of things you can expect over the immediate few days post-op.

Well, both me and my husband have had our gall bladders removed and the only side effect that the both us had was having looser stools than normal.

Assuming he has no problem healing (infection, etc,) he might have a little fatty food intolerance. Most patients adjust to this and actually do better with fatty foods after a few months. He might get some guidance from a dietitian before his discharge from the hospital.

Ask the doctor that did the surgery. Don't ask something like that on here because not everyone on here is board certified.
