Gallbladder surgery

How long is recovery after removal of the gallbladder?

In most cases 4-6 weeks. Despite what surgeons claim, many patients continue to have moderate pain at the port sites. A few patients may recover faster. If you have been told that you have gallstones, the surgery is never urgent and you should take your time. If the gallstones do not bother you, just move on with your life.
