The gallbladder is attached to the right liver lobe, which was removed to be transplanted. Your gallbladder is kinda like your appendix, it's not really necessary and can cause problems, so no point in leaving and/or transplanting it into the recipient.

And people complain when we have to extract every single one of their dogs teeth because they neglected them for years and it's gonna cost gasp $1900....General anesthesia and 3 hours of fighting teeth out of the mouth, that's a steal of a deal.

Also, don't worry. Dogs and cats pee themselves (and more) while they're under anesthetic too. It was my biggest worry when I had surgery myself lol

Not sure what the deleted comment said, but I'm guessing something about that medication you have being available over the counter. It most definitely is available over the counter http://www.amazon.com/MiraLAX-laxative-powder-Ounces-doses/dp/B000UZED0S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411353853&sr=8-1&keywords=miralax

Do you have all of the normal inner ear structures? Everything past the ear drum?
