Gallbladder Surgery Question

If you had yours out a few weeks/months after being sleeved I need your answers!!

Did you have laparoscopic surgery or open surgery?

How long were you off work?

Thanks!

    I had mine out about 4 months after sleeve.

    Laparoscopic. Used many of the same incisions from the sleeve to take out gallbladder.

    I was stupid and wasn't out of work except for one day. My suggestion would be to take 3-4 days off.

    I had mine done 2 months post-sleeve, seperate incisions (sleeve done in Mexico & incisions are mostly on my left side-- your gallbladder is in the right side attached to your liver), but laparoscopically. I also had to have stents put in my ducts (and my gallbladder removal was emergency surgery). I was out of work for a month, but I am a maintenance technician (very physical work)... If it had been a desk job, I could've been back at it in two weeks.
