A friend of mine had problems with fat for up to a year after hers was
removed. Literally fatty foods went straight through her. Half an hour
after her favourite KFC and she was on the toilet. I remember my
daughter's partner had to take some kind of enzyme tablet after he was
stabbed in the pancreas and acquired type 1 diabetes. Same deal, he
would be sick after meals (not necessarily fatty) if he didn't take
them. Over time her stopped using the tablets and has no problems. I
think if one suffers symptoms with foods after certain organs are
damaged or removed then the body adapts to the new condition eventually.
