I made a post before my surgery on May 20 about being terrified of gallbladder removal. Now I’m already 2 hours post-op. The surgery went well and there were no complications. The only thing bothering me right now is the pain, of course.

The medical staff was incredibly kind and caring. They gave me something to calm me down because I was genuinely very nervous before the operation. I was also SO relieved that I didn’t have any nausea after anesthesia.

It’s still very early after surgery, but honestly… I was already leaving the recovery room with a huge smile on my face 😂 Thank you all for the support — you truly helped me keep hope that everything would go well.

My gallbladder removal surgery is on May 20 and I’m super anxious :( ( F. 31)

I know it’s a common surgery, but my brain keeps overthinking everything and imagining worst-case scenarios. I’d really appreciate hearing successful stories or positive recovery experiences from people who had their gallbladder removed.

How did the surgery go for you? Was recovery hard? Did you feel better afterward?

Thank you
