EExperiences of laparoscopic gall bladder removal especially in someone under 30

I had mine out recently. I am mid 40's though. Laparoscopic op still requires careful management afterwards as there is risk of hernias or internal scarring. Your daughter will be advised to take it easy for 5-6 weeks and I suggest she heeds that. This is still a surgery involving a major organ.

Diet wise not everyone responds the same so it's quite important to manage carefully - the bile is weaker so digestion doesn't quite work the same.Weight gain is possible and additional digestive enzymes or bile may be necessary.

I had mine out when I was 31. The only issue I had was the first GP not believing me because of my age. Potentially outing but I had mine out a month before I got married. The first couple of days were pretty tough pain-wise but after that I was able to crack on with last minute wedding plans while I was off work so it was quite useful. A couple of days before we got married, we went for a multi-course Michelin star lunch and I had no problems with eating any of it!

I had trouble free removal, although I am not as young, I’m 64. I had a UTI with bad pain so GP sent me for an ultrasound, where a large gallstone was found, apart from this pain, which mainly disappeared after a course of antibiotics for UTI. I saw a private consultant as my GP wanted to send me for other tests. I had my gallbladder out 10 days later as a day patient, in at 7am and home for 6pm. The hardest part was the waiting, I went down at 11.30am and back in room around 1.30pm. I was given a sandwich and cup of tea, which I was surprised I could eat and next day I ate as normal. I was sent home with some strong painkillers, but never needed them, only paracetamol and then only for 3 days, I have 3 small scars under right breast and a 2 inch scar below my belly button, stitches were dissolvable and I took dressings off after 2 weeks. I stayed at home for 4 days, then on the 5th went for a short walk and gradually increased this over the coming days. I was told I could drive when I felt able, which was about day 10, but I didn’t need to, so maybe could have driven earlier if I had to.

I was 29. Had it done on the Monday. In hospital overnight and back teaching the following Monday. No issues at all.

I was early thirties but had laparoscopic removal. It was absolutely fine, in hospital two days, took three weeks off work but could have gone back after 10-14 really. It’s good to be careful with seeing if any food triggers vomiting or nausea after removal as I found I needed to avoid fatty food, garlic and tomato based foods.

I'm not under 30 - but I'm not that far over either!

Mine was fine - in surgery for about 2 hrs. Few hours in recovery, discharged home the same day.

A week-ish of pain requiring regular pain relief and a bit of TLC but was e.g. still able to prepare meals, put the washing machine on and sleep OK. Was driving again 10 days after and back at work on day 14.

Back to eating exactly how I was before I had gallbladder issues within about a week and no issues since.

Recovery was easy and I had 2 young DC (2 under 2).. I felt like the toxic thing in my body had gone and felt instantly better.

I had some shoulder aches for a few days (the gas collects near your collar bone ) but easily managed with paracetamol.
