Question 1

had gall bladder surgery 4 days back thru laproscopy. when can i resume work outs and exercise. can i carry weight or will i get hernia.

Accepted Answer

Wait at east 3 weeks: But each surgeon will vary their recommendations with some suggesting avoiding strenuous activities for up to 3 months. I am sure your surgeon or his/her staff will be more than willing to answer this routine question.

Question 2

laproscopic gall bladder surgery 6 days ago; pain on right side from shoulder to kidney area, especially when breathing....should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

This is probably: due to air trapped under your diaphragm from the laparascope. Should resolve soon. If getting worse or associated fever call your surgeon immediately

Question 3

my daughter had gall bladder surgery and is still passing green poop and smells real bad is this normal se had lapascopy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Decrease the amount of fat that she is eating and it should clear up- or get rid of all fat and see how it does.

Question 4

how long does it takes to recover from gall bladder surgery?

Accepted Answer

About a week: If done minimally invasively you should expect to be back to work in about a week on average. I have had patients go back to work a early as 2 days after surgery. If done open, big incision, expect to be laid up for much longer.

Question 5

how long would it take for my gall bladder surgery scars to disappear?

Accepted Answer

Gradually: These small scars usually slowly become lighter in color and softer over 3-6 months. Can also try some of the drug store medications for scars like "mederma" or "neosporin scar" for example.

Question 6

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 7

i had open gall bladder surgery how long will it take to be fully healed?

Accepted Answer

See below: Usually about 4 to 6 weeks before you can do all heavy activities or heavy exercises. Over the first 1 to 2 weeks after surgery, start increasing light activities such as walking or treadmill if ok with your surgeon.

Question 8

how long should i wait to workout with weight post gall bladder surgery...it's been 1 week and i feel very fatigued also shoul i now take bile salts?

Accepted Answer

Activity post gb sur: I would avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activity for at least a few weeks.  Any activity causing pain should be avoided.  Otherwise, most aerobic exercise should be ok.  No reason to take bile salts after gall bladder surgery.  Your body will continue to produce its normal bile.

Question 9

having pain after gall bladder surgery, sharp pain in upper abdomen when i take a deep breath, had ct, hida scan & chest xray done, can't find anything?

Accepted Answer

Be patient : If it is early post surgery, that kind of pain can be due to some fluid or a small amount of blood in the surgical area.  If so this will clear up.  The tests you had should eliminate the more serious post operative problems, such as pulmonary embolism , bile leak or bike duct injury.  As always, if the pain persists, go see your surgeon again.

Question 10

please explain which foods are good to eat after gall bladder surgery?

Accepted Answer

All good: Generally there is no special diet for patient after gallbladder surgery 
some patient might not tolerate a rich or creamy or fatty meal it makes them go to the bathroom too often but in general all food are fine 
again before or after surgery bodies are nor created equally some digestive system might tolerate food that other do not simply watch what your body is trying to tell you.
