    Gall bladder removal while TTC / pregnant?

    BTW - recovery from that operation was dreadful. It may have 'only' been keyhole surgery but It was painful for ages. And the other thing to consider is how would you feel if due to complications you lost a baby that was conceived, surgery is not risk free especially when pregnant.

    I stayed in over night, more so so they could monitor bub and make sure all was okay because i was just under the cut of from when they would do surgery on a pregnant woman for gall bladder removal, apparently if i was 30weeks i would of had to of waited.... thank god i didn't have to wait because the attacks were the worst pain ever.

    Recovery was pretty easy considering, i came home the next day, was a bit sore and couldn't move around easily but just took it easy for a few days and didn't do anything in the way of physical work. Just checked with DH and apparently by the end of a week i was fine
