OP here, thanks everyone. Feeling better-ish, but still worn down. Great advice.

The recovery's a bitch (twice as bad as a c-section) but you'll never have a gall bladder attack again so it's worth it. First 3 days are the worst. By 1 week you'll feel much better.

Funny, I had mine taken out yesterday as well...wonder if I posted this in my pain-killer fog . I actually don't feel too bad, but I've also been in bed all day, with the exception of a shower. Planning on trying to get up an around a bit more tomorrow, but still taking it easy!

Take it easy for about a week or so. You'll want to sleep a lot... at least I did. And of course you'll remember not to lift anything heavy.

It'll be good not to feel that particular kind of pain ever again.

It won't lat too long, but you will be tired for a while. I think it's more the anesthesia and the painkillers that make you feel like you've been kit by a truck.

Take it really easy and get lots of rest, even for the next 30 days or so. You shouldn't have much pain from the incisions but you will be tired.

I had mine out late on a Friday. Spent Fri night in the hospital. Cleared to drive in Tuesday, back to work on Wed.

I was pretty fine after 3 days and really fine after a week. The recovery should speed up.

Had my gallbladder taken out laparoscopically yesterday. Feel like I was hit by a large truck. Have Percocet, taking it as instructed.

How long am I going to feel like hell? Advice for getting through the initial suckage?

Thanks
