Laproscopic Chloecysectomy
by: Wes on Wed, Dec 17 2008

at the age of 22 I had my gallbladder taken out (I know it’s a young age). I had it taken out on 12/15/08 and I’m in the 2nd day of recovery. The pain isn’t near as bad as I thought it would have been. The sorest (most sensitive) incision is the one near the navel, but the other 3 I don’t even know they are there. Unfortunately, I have about 3 different pains, only 1 of which get treated by my percocet. Feels like trapped gas (very gassy, probably from the C02 inflated in the abdominal cavity.), muscle soreness below the rib on the right (similar to an over-worked muscle, gone after the first day), 3rd is the swelling around the navel (most painful). Other than these 3 things I feel fine. I can eat anything I want without pain (I couldn’t eat dairy or pork before).
