Hey Lori. I see we have the same dr. What part of Illinois do you live in?

You are not a baby! There is no way I could have gone back to work after one or two weeks. I also have a high pain tolerance. My gallbladder was acutely inflamed and filled with stones and I thought all my attacks were just normal. However , after surgery I actually gained 20 lbs from the swelling! My stomach is still swollen and I cant see my belly button. I got an infection which I think kinda slowed down my healing process. But like everyone else said, I guess people heal at different rates. I'm 4 weeks out and still tender and sore but not really in any more pain and not breaking out in a sweat from walking 10 feet. Loool this surgery definitely surprised me too, I did not think it would take me this long to heal. But take it slow and easy and give your body te rest it needs. You have the rest of your life to work

You are not a baby, I agree with newskinnygal. It is actually harder to sit than to stand after surgery. Others can do so much more, my own surgeon swore that he had surgery in Mexico on Friday was home and back doing surgery on Monday! Whatever, you take the time you need not what others say! Bless you and good luck, Karen

Thank you all for the support! I guess I just didn't expect the pain that I've had with this surgery.

Tracy.....so how did you like Dr. Rohrscheib? So far everyone there has been super helpful and great to me.
