Is it possible to get gallstones after having the gallbladder removed?
In a lecture today, someone said today that a patient might still get gallstones even after they've had their gallbladder removed.
I don't get how! Can someone explain please?

Low-fat diet and gallstones
Diet high in fat may reduce the risk of gallstones during rapid weight loss:
http://www.nutrientsreview.com/lipids/fats.html
Diet high in saturated fat may increase the risk of gallstones.
Meals high in fat supposedly trigger pain in gallbladder stones disease, and many doctors recommend low-fat meals to prevent the pain
http://www.patient.co.uk/health/gallstones-diet-sheet
My questions:
Do high-fat meals really trigger pain in gallbladder stone disease? Any experience with patients?
Would you, as a doctor, recommend a low-fat diet to someone who already has gallstones?

Imaging Case of the Week 174 Answer
The abdominal x-rays show dilated small bowel loops with air fluid levels. The erect abdominal x-ray, on close examination shows air in the biliary tree. There are multiple rounded irregular densities in the mid abdomen (turned out to be calcified mesenteric lymph nodes on CT). This patient likely has a small bowel obstruction secondary to gall stone.
