Hi all, I'm new to the site & not sure how to post my question.
I'm almost 6 weeks post op for keyhole gallbladder removal. I'm still having lower abdominal pain either side of my belly button. All incisions have healed well & doctor has checked for post op hernia. He says I'm probably still recovering. But I'm so worried as I thought I would be recovered well before now. My pain tends to come on with movement & walking. If I rest I don't feel it. I do have the odd upper pain too were the gallbladder was, but generally again it's only if I do alot of movement. My main worry is my lower abdominal pain. Can anyone advise if this is normal at 6 weeks. Thank you

Hello, how is your diet? I know for about 6 months fatty foods would give me pain. After the 6 month period things started returning to normal . It gets better. I'm now 3 years after and I don't even know it's gone

It can take up to 12 weeks to heal. Give it more time.
