Post Op Gallbladder question

[Sullie06 1,013]

I'm having my Gallbladder removed 2/16 (14 months post op VSG), no stones but Hida scan came back abnormal. I plan to take 5 days off work as my doc said 5-7 should be fine with my job (desk job, no pushing/pulling/lifting) but my hubby just reminded me that my son has a reward dinner the next evening 2/17 that we completely forgot about. I really don't' want to miss it but I don't' want to reschedule surgery since I've been putting it off since June. Those who had a lap choli, do you think I will be okay to attend the dinner. It will be a couple hours max and I will just have to walk in and sit, nothing strenuous. I know everyone is different but I'm just looking for some experiences. I had a Appendectomy back in 2008 but I don't remember how long it took me to bounce back.

I felt pretty normal after the anesthesia wore off. I know some people have more issues than I did, but I don't think I even needed pain meds. It was a pretty easy surgery and recovery for me. I would have been fine to go to a dinner the next day.

I had my gallbladder surgery first thing in the morning....was home on the couch eating a Subway turkey sandwich by 1pm...and went to work the next day:)

Everyone's different, of course, but I could have easily attended the dinner.
