Ooops, trust me the little pain u have afterwards is worth it..I lived with gallstone ( 6, 2cm in diameter, and some stuck in the bile duct, for 5 years, no dr would believe me that I was so sick and something was wrong), when I seen my new dr, I seen him on the Tuesday, and that Thursday I was in hospital having it removed..it was nasty, the only thing that hurt the most was when they take the tube out, but it`s just like child birth, hurts for a split second...just have a huge cough when they tell u to.

I had my gallbladder removed 4 years ago, I had to stay in over night for blood to drain..but none did, I also knew 3 other ppl that had them removed a month or 2 before me, and we all recovered at different rates...just don`t break down while driving 3 days after the op...lol, I did and no one would pick me up, I must have looked like a real druggo, all hunched over, trying to walk for help... that bit of walking set me back weeks, for a few days afterwards though their is pain...and 1 useful tip I can give u, is to roll out of bed, don`t try sitting up, roll ure legs out first.

I didnt have a gall bladder removed but I did have a cyst about the size of a large grapefruit removed off of my right ovary this way. I was in and out in the same day. No over nighters. I took it easy for a couple days but was back to normal in a about a week.

I had my gall blader removed and spleen when i 14 this way. The recovery was good. I was back in dance class the following monday to watch the routines (not dance i wasnt crazy lol) i went in on tuesday I had butterfly stiches and i was a little sore and tender. I had to wrap my tummy when i took showers untill it healed and it would hurt a little to get up from sitting but it was fine.

My sister had it done and was SO worried about recovery (she works and has three kids)....they told her 6 weeks for recovery, standing, lifting objects,,,,she was fine within 2 weeks and it was the best thingshe ever did (she had horrible attacks!!!)

Not gall bladder but ovarian cysts- the first was ok I had some pain had it done Wed back to work MOnday. The last one was more painful dr said due to scrapping more. I was down a bit longer but much better than a full incision that took me a whole lot longer. The worse to me was the pain in the shoulders from the gas. You will do fine and good luck!Are you having it done soon?
