Hi JoanieMama, thanks for your concern, My surgery took a little over 2 hours because it was fully packed with stones so my surgeon had to widen the incision so he can pull the gallbladder through, but I feel now much better and i am on a regular diet since saturday and my diet includes lots of fruits and high fiber cereal. I am still taking some pain medication may be for 2 more days.Thanks for your support, I am glad to be back------------------AJ
