I gave up my gall bladder when I was a little younger than you. 10 years later, I still consider myself in good health. More aware of what’s on my dinner plate but I can’t remember it preventing me from eating something I really wanted…just not in huge quantities.

In the post op stuff, I’m not a doc so maybe call the surgeons office for specific advice. I didn’t have any kind of incision covering. My instructions were to stay out of the bath/show for 3-4 days.

Just remember…you’re not the first and you won’t be the last person to pull that covering off. And I’ll bet few, if any got infected.

Good luck, I’m sure you’ll do great.
