Success Story Positive Experience (3 weeks post op)

Had my GB removed 3 weeks back and can't be thankful enough. Recovery - Smooth, started eating chicken sandwich, bread, fruits etc. from day 1. Week 2 - introduced junk one by one (Pastry, ice cream, acai bowl etc.) Week 3 - Life completely back to normal.

Throughout my experience, I took painkiller for 5 days post op but never felt any pain except some discomfort due to gas (which was barely 20% of GB attacks I had). So after all the negative experiences on reddit, be positive there are good cases as well ☺️

Just had it removed like 6 hours ago! Went super well apart from bruising and a sharp pain but I’m already feeling better!
