Gallbladder surgery
Anyone have an idea of recovery time of gallbladder surgery? I know it may vary but I am curious how long I may be out of lifting

Re: Gallbladder surgery
laparoscopic:
nothing over 10 lb for 2 weeks. ok to do non-core intensive exercise, i.e. stationary bike, elliptical, etc. after 2 weeks, ease back into normal routine. the lifting restriction is to avoid causing a hernia at the trocar (incision) sites. If the surgeon can use all 5mm trocars or smaller, that would be ideal. occasionally I can do the surgery with 3 instead of 4 incisions. I would not recommend single incision surgery for an athlete, because the single incision is a larger, 3-4cm incision that will also increase risk of hernia in the future. better to have 3-4 smaller incisions. open: nothing over 10 pounds for 6 weeks. good luck! |
