Gallbladder surgery (cholecystectomy) is normally done by key hole surgery (laparoscopic) 🏥
📌Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a complete removal of gallbladder using 4 small cuts. Your surgeon will discuss the risks and benefits of the surgery prior to the operation. Please see the video above to get a sneak peek on how it is done (go to my TikTok to watch the full video). It normally takes 30-90 min depends on the complexity of the surgery.
📌You can normally go home on the same day of your surgery
📌Typically, it takes about 2 weeks for you to go back to your normal activities
📌If it’s an open surgery, you may take longer to recover (up to 6-8 weeks). You normally have to stay in the hospital for a few days.
📌You may lead a normal life without your gallbladder. Your liver will still produce bile to digest fat, but instead of it being stored in your gallbladder, it goes straight into your digestive system
📌You can return to your normal diet as soon after the operation. Most people find they prefer to eat light food and small meals a few days after the operation.
📌You should aim for a healthy balanced diet with regular low-fat meals
📌 Some people may experience bloating or diarrhoea after surgery but this will go away after a few weeks.
📌If you have any concerns, please discuss with your surgeon.
