How many days can you go to work after cholecystectomy needs to depend on the comprehensive decision of the surgical method, post-surgical recovery and work intensity, and cannot be generalized.
1. Light physical labor: If the patient adopts laparoscopic cholecystectomy, its incision is small and the recovery is faster, the patient can be discharged from the hospital 1 to 2 days after the operation, and some light physical work can be resumed in about 1 week.
2. Moderate physical labor: If the work is very intensive, it is recommended to take a month’s rest and continue to work after the wound has fully recovered. In case of open surgery with long incision and long wound healing time, it is recommended to take about one month’s rest before going to work.
3. Intense work or strenuous physical activity: It is recommended to take a break of about three months.
If you want to resume normal work, you should make appropriate adjustments according to the specific situation.
