Question 8

i had gall bladder surgery 3 weeks ago and now i am having pain in my left side above  my belly button. why?

Accepted Answer

See Your Surgeon: It's very difficult to answer this without the benefit of the knowledge of your surgery or your physical exam findings. What i can tell you is that the gallbladder is usually removed from the abdomen thru the umbilical incision. Therefore, it is common to have pain there even three weeks later.

Question 9

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.
