A member asked:

What are the dos and donts after gallstone surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Early after surgery eat light and non-fatty foods, no heavy work or heavy exercise for 2 weeks or until alright by your surgeon. Once healed there are no specific restrictions and should be able to do all normal activities and eat all normal foods.
