Had my gallbladder taken out in February of 2009. Woke up with absolutely no pain. Went home the next day. Never needed a painkiller. Only took a couple to help me sleep, lol. Had to sleep on my back for a week. The most annoying thing was the drain that was sticking out of me along with the collection cup attached. Had to empty it every few hours when it got full. That tube being pulled out of me 10 days after surgery felt like an exorcism. I could feel the tube being pulled through my insides.

I hear people saying they recovered so quickly, went home within the first day of surgery, having little pain.. WHAT?!

I just had my gallbladder taken out 4 days ago, as soon as I woke up from anesthesia I was crying in pain for over 2 hours until they gave me a pain reliever.

Most painful shit of my life. I'm walking around like an old lady crouched over, even on prescription ibuprofin and percocet. D: I don't know how you people do it.... so painful on my part.

Had my gallbladder removed laparoscopically 10 months ago, and was surprised at how easy it was! I have medical conditions that could have caused complications, but it didn't happen. Was out of surgery and on my way home in 5 hours (hubby driving, of course.) Slept & took meds first day, then just ice pack for 2 days. Back to normal (except heavy lifting) in a few days. Piece of cake! No serious after-effects and no more pain when eating fatty foods. Now have 77 small gallstones in a jar.

I had pancreatitis due to a stone

Getting stuck in the common bile duct. Had my gallbladder out yesterday morning, in alot of pain today. I would take this pain a hundred times over than go through the pancreatitis again!

@2woBeForgotten Had mine removed 10 weeks after c section. Surgery wasn't bad at all. Gallstones pain was worse than labour pains though. Glad it's over.
