I had mine removed about 10-12 years ago, recovery was pretty fast for me. I had a little minor trouble at the incision points, that required an office follow up.

Hope yours goes as well as mine did.

Preston, my gall bladder was removed in 2001. No stones; I lost mine because it ruptured after being lacerated by a shoulder harness in car accident. The surgeon couldn’t explain why I didn’t have peritonitis since the gall bladder has been draining directly into my abdomen for about three weeks. Good luck on your survey and recovery.

One of the engineers I work for is having his removed Thursday started bothering him Sunday. They told him off work 1-2 weeks.

Wishing for you a speedy recovery and good health.

Hope you get better quickly!

Best of luck for a complete recovery.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Ouch, Preston. What an ordeal for you. Be a good patient and do what the doc tells you. Take your time with recovery. Let us know how you are doing.

Surgery went well! Thanks to everyone for thoughts and prayers!

Just had french toast! Real food.

Preston, Are you really alive? Alright!

Gall stones saved my life. Went to the hospital with horrible pain and it turned out to be a gall stone. While checking me out the doctors found that I had cancer. If the gall stone hadn't caused me to go to the hospital they might not have found the cancer until it was too late.

Alive!

Thanks to good surgeons, Doctors and Nurses and all the others at the Hospital.
They did robotic surgery so just small cuts.

Can't lift anything heavy, but will get some help with that. May be a little slow for a while.

Thanks to all who took time to pray for me and wish me well.

Kidney stones are no fun either. :faint:

I've had kidney stones too! Have two not moving right now.

Hope nobody else has to deal with this gall stones ordeal.
Lost weight after not eating for a week!
Getting help this coming week with parts

I had mine pulled back in 2020, and I'm not your typical patient for them. In healthcare, we have what's called the Five F's to come to a differential diagnosis of gallstones...

Fat
Female
Forty or above
Fertile
Fair-skinned.

I'm none of those things lol, in fact I was only 32 at the time. I didn't get your typical gallbladder attacks, though, that sent me to the ER. My pain was dull and would last all day. Turned out I had stones. Assuming it was done laparascopically, you should be back on your feet in no time.

I had robotic surgery and am very glad it happened that way. 4 small intensions.
I am on my way to recovery. Just can't lift anything and my strength is probably at 60%.
2 weeks checkup soon and see what they say.
Glad I have some help to keep things moving!
Thanks again to everyone who has checked on me!

I heard the way they used to do this surgery is a lot worse than this and would take way more time to get over.
