I have gallstones.which means they wanna take my gallbladder out since ill already be opened up. Is the recovery and different?

I had my gallbladder removed at the same time. I was told I would be sore on both sides (which I was) I stayed 3 days in hospital which was cause I had my gallbladder removed. Most people stay only 1 night. You will do fine.

I just had my sleeve, and gall bladder removed on the 22nd of Oct and on the 3rd day I was released and went shopping. The day of surgery and the day after surgery I only felt achy across my back. I brought a heating pad with me and that really helped, I just put it on low and layed on it...soothing to the back!

Good luck with your upcoming Surgery!!!

i had my gallbladder removed years ago..i was released the same day. I was a little loopy for a couple days but wasn't in any pain. Energy was back within a week and it was like i had nothing done. Everyone is different but i wouldn't compare it at all to this surgery...if anything its a lot easier.

I too had my gallbladder removed years ago. I don't remember how I felt then. I didnot have pain with my sleeve surgery just nausea.

Good luck on your journey. You will have good days and bad. Not pain related though!

I just posted about this the other day if you want to read peeps responses

Had mine removed 5 years ago. Was in the hospital for five days but that's cuz I had a c section 10 days before that. I got real sick.
