Thank you for all your replies guys, turns out I started feeling heaps better the day after I posted this lol just had my stitches out yesterday (monday) afternoon, there's a bit of seepage but at least now I don't have the stitches pulling anymore lol

I think the worst part of it all was that hubby couldn't get time off work to help out, he's casual and gets paid by the hour so doesn't get sick leave or anything like that and any time he takes off means less that he gets paid and then we wouldn't be able to pay the mortgage, so I've had to do everything as normal pretty much.

I'm just glad that it's out now though, no more gallstone attacks and I can start losing weight again!
