Hi Ducky

Gall bladder surgery is as routine as getting a haircut these days. Keyhole surgery means 3 little nicks in the skin, the surgery can take less than 20 minutes, start to finish and you can be up and out in no time.

The only thing I would say is afterwards, do take care, because outwardly you look the same apart from 3 little lines, but obviously, you have had surgery and should take things easy for a while, no heavy lifting, over stretching or over exertion. But the surgery is nothing to worry about.

Let us know how you feel afterwards tomorrow

Dave
