Hello Angelface25 :wave:

I had my gallbladder removed last year via laproscopy (most common procedure for gallbladder removal) and I was off work for 1 week and light duty for another week. My surgeon told me that if there were complications and he had to complete the procedure with an old fashioned incision then I would be off work for 3 to 4 weeks.

It really is a very easy procedure (for me any way) and you'll do great!

I had mine out in July, took 3 weeks off just to be sure. I have a very good disability plan.
