Specializes in General Surgery

Low: Being in recovery after your surgery with an improving course, your overall risk for gallbladder disease has been sucessfully decreased. A post gallbladder bile leak is also low risk. Okay to check in with your surgeon for Post OP visit, take friend with you. Be well.
