Yes. As the child of a doctor, I didn't panic when it started- a lot of people think they're having heart attacks and rush to the hospital; I knew better and tried to wait the attacks out, hoping they'd stop. They didn't; I ultimately would've been better off doing it right away, but I didn't know that.
My recovery was very swift; they were able to do it laparoscopically (though just barely; the doctor said it was a challenge). I was at home the next day, sleeping in a chair for the next three or four, and eating normally within a week. A tip for the first few days: sherbet. It doesn't have to be rainbow, but that IS the most common variety. It'll get you the calories you need without having to get your intestines involved right away. Don't forget to bring fat back in; people who don't can lose the ability to digest fatty stuff, and you don't want that- survival's all about adaptability, and life's all about pizza.
As an added bonus, whenever any of my body parts starts acting up, I can glare at it and ask "Remember what happened to the gall bladder?".

Thought Zendeya played it wrong. Half way through the movie she became a moody ratchet girlfriend on her period.
I haven’t but I work at a holistic health office- when you are all healed up you should take some bile salts with your food to help with digestion :) try “Beta plus” from Biotics Research. You can get it on Amazon. One with each meal- especially if you eat steak :)
No, but my best friend did last year. Took her a few weeks for the incision to heal all the way

One of my childhood friends had his removed. He never could shake body weight. Never had a problem after that. I do remember he did gripe about the change of diet though. It'll be an adjustment.

don't rush your way back to work my dude... take your time
I never had mine removed. I am just telling you to feel better. 😊😊😊
There are changes you will have to get used to now but I am with you in that it was the worst pain I ever had too. I was up and moving around in a few days I believe. It was a while back.
