Gall stones

[bakedpotato]

How long should you be off work after removal of said boulders (by keyhole surgery)?

(Not asking for me but for friend, thankfully)

ermm til you feel up to it. my mum had a few days i think

I had my gallbladder out a few weeks ago and it was a week before I could move around anything like normally, two weeks before I could have sensibly gone back to work except I was on mat leave iyswim. After six weeks I feel great but still have an occasional little ache around my tummy button to warn me that I've overdone it.
