hi. noted history of cholecystectomy several years back. to answer your question, yes, you may return to your exercise routine. it must be done gradually and as tolerated initially. even those have been operated on for years, occassionally experience pain/discomfort over the post-operative site, which is tolerable in intensity and resolving spontaneously. if symptoms are persistent/progressive, a follow-up consult with your surgeon is best for physical examination and clinical evaluation. low fat diet is also recommended. hope this helps. good day!! ~dr.kaye
