A member asked:

Is it possible to have adhesion develop 1 week after gallbladder removal. if so what is the next approach?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not possible: If it is Laparoscopic procedure I doubt. Even with open procedure it is too early to have adhesions and too early to have symptoms, usually may take few months to couple of years,
