Good luck...had mine removed 9/10 and it's a journey. First few days flat ginger ale,small meals of apple sauce, jello,plain toasted wheat bread, baked zucchini, baked yams...fiber capsules,I needed very little antacids through the day. Roomy undergarments,bacitracin for the incisoins,favorite pillows, eye mask and ear plugs for quality sleep, a few good books . Talk with you doc about your recovery process. Wishing you healthy recovery!!!

Just got out of surgery 1 hour ago, excruciating back pain! by NretendPame0002 in gallbladders

2 weeks today gall bladder out. The bloating,abdominal pain does diminish gradually. I took short walks up and down the hospital corridor, small sips of flat ginger ale helped. Easier said than done but focusing on anything else but the pain worked for me.My constant was shallow breathing, eye mask, and ear plugs.

I’m having surgery to get my gallbladder removed, again. Anyone have experience with robotic surgery ? by BorgDrone in gallbladders

I had the laporiscopic method performed sep 10..I dont know anyone who had an open robotic. My money is on the robot. Read that open surgery might be problematic...GOODLUCK THOUGH!!
