Hi @tasha00, this must be disconcerting. To help you connect with others who have had a cholecystectomy, I moved your question to this discussion
- Dealing with symptoms after Gallbladder surgery: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/gallbladder-surgery/

Your surgery was very recent and it is a major surgery. Even from laparoscopic cholecystectomy, recovery can take several weeks. Was your surgery laparoscopically done? May I ask what led to your needing surgery?

@colleenyoung Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it. It was a Laproscopic Cholecystectomy. My gallbladder was full of stones and I have having some frequent attacks in a short period of time. I was prepared for pain as I have had a couple procedures prior to this (unrelated, Hernia Repairs and Hysterectomy) this particular pain is just different therefor worrisome. Other than this pain, I am healing well. Incisions look good and clean, swelling is minimal and no pain at incision sites, just some pressure when I stand. Which I expected. Thanks again for your reply!
