Gallbladder Advice
So I'm going in tomorrow morning to have my gallbladder taken out. I know its just day surgery and it will probably be a lot easier to deal with then when I had my bypass.. but I was hoping that there may be some people on here who have gone through it and can let me know what their recovery was pain wise. How long they took off from work, etc
I know that everyone heals differently but any feedback would be appreciated!

I had mine out , pain level was minimal. I had only taken the pain meds( 5 mg Percocet cut in half) twice after getting out hospital. I had surgery on a friday and felt well enough to go back to work on the monday. was unable to though because I am personal Support worker and have a heavy case load.
I didn't get mine done in Ontario but at my hospital in California they take out your gallbladder when they do your surgery because rapid weight loss can cause gall stones.
I had my gallbladder out a couple years before my Roux En Y when I dropped 80 pounds really quickly. I have zero pain tolerance so I was pretty miserable. One thing I will say is to take it easy. Don't go for long walks or anything for a few days because I got horrible stomach cramps. Be prepared for your stools to change. It shouldn't be too bad though. I was able to leave the hospital less than 24 hours after my surgery. You'll be ok.
