My husband had his removed last year. The surgery only took about an hour or so. They did it microscopically so he only had a couple little soars to heal. The hard part was his muscles and bones where they put the microscope in was sore. His recovery was 3 months, but he works in a factory so they wanted to make sure he was healed very well before they sent him back to his manual labor job.
I know a friend of a friend who had hers removed. She has a desk job and was back to work in 2 weeks.

My daughter did recently. She was only 20 and quite fit (so much for the fat, female, fertile and forty theory of gallstones), so it was probably a bit easier for her than for an older person.
She had the surgery on Thursday and was back to school--though moving slowly--by Monday. It was about two weeks before she really felt back to normal. Normal, that is, except without all that gallbladder pain!
Do be aware that there can be complications that can increase recovery time, but that's true of all surgery.
The surgery took less than an hour. I know because I paced the waiting room until the doctor came out. :-)

I had my gall bladder removed about 10 years ago. I was in the hospital for about 5 hours total, check in to check out. I was able to walk around slowly the next day and could have gone back to work within 5 days, but stayed out two weeks because I ripped one of my staples not being careful.

Get gall bladder surgery in India.Thats the best method.Surgery is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as all surgery is not covered by insurance.
They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.If you still havent got your surgery done,you are better off getting it done in India.
my cousin got a surgery for gallbladder through the forerunners healthcare in India and is all praise for this company.She is more than very happy with the results.she just paid 30% of the amoun she was quoted in USA.hope this helps.

I had mine out 11 years ago, due to gallstones. It wasn't that bad they do laprascopacly now, and its not that painful anymore, I spent one night at Maine Medical Center, and went home the next day. I was only sore for 2 days and returned back to daily activites. If you're going to have yours out, I wish you luck, and don't worry it's not that bad you'll beck to doing your thing in 2 days.
