How long is downtime after surgery to remove a gallbladder?

"Days": When performed laparoscopically, most people go home the same day as surgery; need 2-3 days at home; may return to (office) work in 5-7 days; aerobic exercise in 1-2 weeks, and; no restrictions in 2-3 weeks. Of course (like they say on tv), results may vary depending upon the age and health of the patient. I hope this helps!

Scope chole recovery: Check with your surgeon. Typically recovery is 5 to 10 days off work and outpatient procedure.
