My Wife recently had her GB removed as an outpatient. 4 Incisions and a web-like membrane on the inside to prevent any herniation due to the enlarged size of the GB required a larger incision. 1st week was tough on her consisting of pain meds and sleep. I made soup. 2nd-3rd week she was quite sore but moving around, by 3rd week she was back attending classes. The chronic pain and discomfort was gone and she was feeling noticably better dispite the pain from the surgery.

May blessings to you and your family.
