Usually it is a simple procedure(unduly expensive by the way)I have noticed no ill effects from the removal of my gall bladder. If your surgeon is conservative you may stay overnight for observation. If you had inflammation of the pancreas do the gall bladder surgery NOW!

There are risks from any surgery which your physician will explain, such risky events rarely occur.

as a nurse for 35 years, if you have to have your GB out, you are living in the right time. When I began my career you could look forward to a week in ICU with tubes in most of your orifices, plus a few u didn’t know you had, a huge belly incision, lots of pain, and a good possibility of dying. Now, we send you home the same day. It is one of the great advances in surgery in my lifetime. I still have my GB, but don’t fear losing it like I used to.
I will give you the advice I give all the patients I send home, WALK, WALK,WALK. Drink plenty of water. Don’t get constipated. from the pain pills.
