Gallbladder removal - pain levels and recovery time?

[bubno.3]

yes it is major surgery.... so please dont feel you need to be super women(not trying to sound rude or sarcastic) as it wont happen ... your husband if he can will probably need to take at least the week off work and let you rest

Thanks My boys will be 3.5 and 1 so fairly high maintenance lol. My DH commutes to an IT job (1.5 hours away) and doesn't really have the option of any more time off... I can book both boys into daycare for the Wed and Thurs, maybe that is a more realistic option? My parents are close by, but they both work as well. My surgeon said I'll be ok to BF with the meds so I hope she knows what she's talking about!

I think I'm actually taking it too lightly, maybe ill be more worried when it gets closer.

book those kids in for the whole week and have your husband help drive them there for you in the mornings and pick them after

There's a good chance you won't be able to drive for up to a week.

Take care. Hope you're home really soon.
