Has anyone else had this happen?
When my baby boy was 3 months old I had to have my gallbladder removed. The surgeon said it was very commen for women that just had a baby to have this problem. Has anyone else had this surgery after having a baby and what was your experience. Mine was horrible, my husband went out to work the same day after I had my surgery. Then the next day went out of town for 3 days. I begged him not to go but he said I was being selfish and that my mom and grandma could stay with me and help with the baby. I was in so much pain due to just having an emergency c-section 2 1/2 months prior to my gallbladder surgery. I had alot of complications with the birth of my child and then a surgery on top of that, my husband was not very understanding. I was just looking for some input on other experiences. By the way my husband went out of town to go to the drag races. It had nothing to do with work so he did not have to go. He knew I was having surgery before he planned on going to the races.

- I didnt have gallbladder surgery but I just had my bladder reconstructed. Pregnancy does some crazy stuff to you! But my original surgery had got pushed up and I was sooooooo happy but the next day my husband also had to go out of town. It was something that really couldnt be cancelled. I was and still am required to lay flat on my back for another week. I have pretty much just let my 1 year old run around and ge into stuff, I had no choice. Grandma and the neighbors came over after work to play and help out. You will get through it- I promise. I hav and am in your shoes.
- I had my gallbladder removed when my last son was almost 6 months old. I didn't really have any problems recovering from the surgery though. I had to be careful about lifting for a couple of days, but I managed well after that. I went to my son's soccer game a couple of days after the surgery. Was yours done with the small incisions? Anyway, if you are all healed up now, I would just let it go. Your husband could have been a little more understanding, but if he was sure you had help, then it's not like you were left all alone. You probably had a harder time because you were still adjusting to a new baby.
- I haven't had this happen but pregnancy is tough on your body and it takes time to recover. Let your mom and grandma help you, and I know it's hard, but let the housework and all that other stuff go and concentrate on you and your baby. I'm not trying to defend your husband because it sounds like he needs to be more understanding but unfortunately in the U.S. many employers don't offer men time off for the birth of a child. The wife is supposed to take care of the child in their eyes. Also, if he's a new dad, he may be overwhelmed and a little scared. He didn't realize that your mom and grandma are no substitute for his love and support. Best wishes
