When people have their gallbladders removed, their bodies no longer have a place to store bile, and the bile flows from the liver continuously. What effect might this have on their ability to digest fats? There will be very little change since bile will still be present to emulsify fats. Fats will be emulsified more efficiently with the constant flow of digestive enzymes. It will be unlikely that they will be able to emulsify and digest fats. Only small amounts of fats will get digested since high concentrations of bile enzymes are needed for efficient digestion.
