What Are The Post-op Instructions To Be Followed For Laparoscopic Gallbladder Removal?
I had laparoscopic gallbladder surgery three weeks ago. The holes appear to be well-healed. Can t find my post-op instructions and the doctor is not in today. I know I was not to bath (showers only) for a period of time after the surgery. Taking a bath or going swimming now shouldn t be a problem should it?

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Cholecystectomy( surgical removal of gallbladder) is a relatively simple minimal invasive surgery.
You can do all your routine activities after the surgery.
You can easily swim and bath and it will not cause any problems.
You have to decrease the intake or fat and oily foods as you might experience problems with fat digestion after gallbladder removal.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thanks
