How long is recovery after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery?
Most patients return home within 24 hours after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. Light daily activities are usually possible within 3–5 days, and many people return to office work in about 1–2 weeks. Heavy lifting and strenuous exercise are generally avoided for around 4–6 weeks. Recovery may vary depending on age, overall health, and whether complications were present before surgery.
