A member asked:

Has anyone had both a gallbladder removed and also undergone nissen fundoplication surgery? how is the recovery process?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Philip Chao answered

Specializes in Radiology

Combining surgeries: Usually makes the surgery longer, causes more complications, increases healing time and increases the risk of bleeding or infection. As for healing - ask your surgeon usually at least 6-8 weeks.
