Question 1

what is the recovery time for gall bladder scope surgery?

Accepted Answer

Days-to-Weeks: Most people are able to go home the same day as the surgery; will require narcotic pain medication for 1-2 days; may return to light duties in 5-7 days, exercise in 1-2 weeks, and full recovery in 2-3 weeks.  Of course, every one is different--"results may vary"--like they say on tv.

Question 2

what is the recovery time for gall bladder surgery?

Accepted Answer

Few weeks: Presuming you are referring to a laparascopicly extracted gall bladder, you should be able to do most things within a couple of weeks.  If it is an open gall bladder, it can be much longer.

Question 3

i had gall bladder surgery 2 weeks ago, i want to know what the recovery is before i can play racquet ball. how long before a person can play a vigorous active, such as, raquet ball after having your gall bladder removed.

Accepted Answer

While : While the general rule of thumb is 6 weeks, it can be shorter if it was done laparoscopically, if you are in otherwise good health and was relatively active before - it so, even as short as 2 weeks is possible.  However if you are on other medications, such as corticosteroids, that may interfere with wound healing, it may take longer.  In addition, if there is any redness or drainage from the wound, if you have other medical problems, such as diabetes, you have kidney or liver disease, history of poor healing, then you will also need longer period of time.  As with any recovery after surgery, you need to resume activity in a graded manner, starting off lightly and increasing as you tolerate.

Question 4

uterous surgery and gall bladder stine surgery can be safe at same  time?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: Depends on their overall health, any medical risks for surgery, why hysterectomy is being done, how long the operation may be for 2 surgical procedures, & finding two surgeons to coordinate and work together for the 2 surgical procedures. So yes it can be done in the right setting with the proper preparation.

Question 5

what to do if i had surgery on my gall bladder, and now i have bad diarrhea at times. .?

Accepted Answer

Stool culture: Frequently after surgery patients have an overgrowth of bad colon organisms such as c. difficile.  This can produce the diarrhea you mentioned.  If it persists, stool culture should be done and if such organisms found , proper antiboitics will clear up problem.

Question 6

recently i got a laproscopic surgery for my gall bladder because of stones in it, during my surgery bilirubin level is 4.4.at that time i didn't got tr?

Accepted Answer

Depends/more info.,,: More information would be helpful in answering this, but it seems that there may have been a stone in your duct at the time of surgery.  Hopefully your bilirubin will be down after it but it may take time to clear.  It would be good to see your doctor to get a repeat bilirubin level and other liver tests to be sure there's nothing else going on.  Best of luck.

Question 7

how much time does it take to hear back from meps when they need to review one gall bladder surgery?

Accepted Answer

Call &amp; ask you MEPS: The surest bet is to call your local MEPS of your insurance and state agency since the pace to go through MEPS may widely vary depending on their workload and the characters of its bureaucracy. Best wish ...

Question 8

it took me 5 weeks to get my gall bladder surgery scheduled, during that time i lost between 20-25 lbs now a week post op i have lost additional 7 lbs?

Accepted Answer

Post Cholecystectomy: Weight loss due to gallbladder diseases as well as post operative weight loss are extremely common. If you were overweight to begin with this is likely beneficial however if you were normal weight before, you may need some supplemental nutrition. I suggest you discuss this in person with your primary MD. You can make a plan thst is tailored to your unique situation. Best of luck and heal up swiftly

Question 9

i had surgery to have my gall bladder removed because i was having severe stomach aches the aches didn't leave they are now 10 times worse...why?

Accepted Answer

Painless gallstones: I assume that your ultrasound showed gall stones without evidence of imflammation of your gall bladder. Sometimes, gall stones cause no symptoms. Removal of your gallbladder did not treat the root cause of your pain. You may more than one cause of pain too. Have you seen a gastroenterologist?
If so, get a follow-up appointment or get a second opinion.

Question 10

i recently had my gall bladder removed. one week later a kidney stone was detected. could this develope from surgery or was the stone there for a long time? pain is same before gall bladder was removed.

Accepted Answer

Unrelated: Kidney stone and gallstones would entirely be unrelated, and the kidney stone would not be related to your surgery. You may still be healing and having surgical discomfort from the gallbladder surgery and the kidney stone may just be present. If the kidney stone is entering or blocking the ureter, then the kidney stone may cause pain.
