It depends on the type of procedure done to remove the gallbladder, open vs laparoscopic, your overall health, and how physical your normal daily activity is. A good rule of thumb is 2-4 weeks to return to normal activity, longer if you have a physical job, up to 6-8 weeks. Recovery times are quicker with laparoscopic procedures and longer with more traditional open surgery. Any complications can impact recovery time as well.
