A member asked:

How long would it take until fit to go back to work after gall bladder removal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends if it is: Open or laparoscopic surgery and what kind of work you do: physical labor v. Office work. If it is laparoscopic surgery and your job is not physical, typically one week or so.
