What diet/life changes must be made after gallbladder surgery?

I had an Open RNY on 5-8-01 and now I have tons of tiny gallstones. I will be having a "double" surgery this Friday (3-1-02) for gallbladder removal (he thinks LAP) and a rotator cuf repair. Anyway I'm not sure how hard a double surgery is going to be, but one of the things I wonder about is what happens after gallbladder removal? Can I no longer tolerate fats? Will getting the gallbladder removed help me to start losing weight again? My weight loss pretty much as stopped cold at the 6 month mark... it is almost month ten now! Nothing I can do will start weight loss again. Also what are bowel movements like post op? I hardly go, except once or twice a week anyway. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
