Hi can anybody talk about how long they took off work after having gallbladder removed?

Gallbladder recovery time and back to work!!
I don’t want to appear to unhelpful in anyway, but this is a BHF linked site for cardiac patients. Should you be placing this question elsewhere?

A colleague of my girlfriend was back at work after a month. She though did have keyhole surgery. I imagine if it is done via a large incision (keyhole is not the most suitable for some people) it would be a few weeks longer. The type of work you do will also come into it.
Wow one month is long time!
Think I might need to come off this forum which is a shame because the other one I’ve started using isn’t as helpful!!
Thanks for reply
Went back after three weeks but should have left it until four .
