What to expect post op after gallbladder removal….?

Well, I’ve got gall—as in one big gallstone and while it’s not bothering me the potential is there. And you know how these things never flare at a convenient moment….

So, I should schedule to remove it. Laproscopy, seems pretty straight forward, I’m overweight, but the surgeon said he’s done people way heavier and it wasn’t a real issue (he apparently hasn’t been jeans shopping with me).

Anyone had this done? What can I expect? The surgeon said a 1-3 week recovery, I’m pretty healthy and have a good attitude so I’m optimistic I will bounce back fairly quick. Thanks for any insights? I’m acting pretty brave, but secretly a bit scared. I’m looking to schedule after the holidays as I have kids, and need to be 100% for the next 8 weeks.

Thanks!
