They go south sometimes and have to be removed, which makes fats harder to digest. If you develop pain after eating fats or just pain in the stomach otherwise it would be smart to have it checked out. But believe me, should you have an "attack" you'll know. Mine was removed many years back. Except that I have to eat smarter I don't know the difference.
