can you get gallstones after having your gallbladder took out?
Yes. Gallstones can also form inside one of the ducts that connect the liver to the small intestine. Click on this link from MedicineNet for more information.
I recently went to a new doctor and noticed he was located in something called the Professional Building. I felt better right away.
Once the gallbladder is removed, one cannot have gallstones anymore. For more information relating to your question, see this web site.

Seems to me we have a conflict. Your both right. You cannot get gallstones in the gallbladder anymore 'cause it's gone. But, if the ducts are still in tact and not removed you can still get stones in them although not as common.
