OK so Friday I had my gallbladder removed. I can't lay down because getting up hurts so bad. I've walked like suggested. When does the swelling and pain go away. I'm supposed to get sleeved in July and I am petrified of it now. Someone talk to me. Please tell me your experience so I can have an idea as to when this pain stops.

I had mine out 11 yrs ago I stayed in the hospital for 1 day the next day I came home, made dinner did some minor cleaning to the house. I was in some pain however, not too much took my pain meds and was back at work 7 days later.
