Well, it depends...My Doctor told me I should be fine in about two weeks. No lifting, driving or pulling for 3 to 5 days. It's one day post surgery and I took one pain pill today. Driving was a little rough when the road(s) became bumpy...No, I didn't listen to the doctor...I feel pretty good...Not good enough to go golfing though!...I have 5 very small cuts in my abdomen....Really swollen stomach looks lopsided!...A little weird looking..

Gall bladder surgery--Piece of cake compared to OC!!
