Gallbladder removal pain

For those who have had theirs removed how long did it take for the pain to subside? Everything else seems to be almost healed except that.

      I took me maybe a month to no longer feel any pain. My pain was located at the bottom of my stomach; kinda felt like a pinching sensation. If you feel pain that lasts longer than a month or pain that

    I was sleeved 8/3 and ended up having my gallbladder out 8/29 almost a week out and I'm still in pain having to sleep in the recliner at night. It sucks. I'm hoping for some relief here soon.

    Sleeved 7/7 and had gall bladder out 8/20. Gall bladder incision was 11 inches long and is still sore but I am able to keep it in check with tylenol.

    I had pain for a month after my gallbladder removed too. It was from an internal suture pulling on my muscles. Once that suture popped, I was in no more pain.
