Question: how long does diarrhea last after gallbladder removal?
Answer: The diarrhea usually goes away in 2 to 4 weeks, but it may last longer. How quickly you recover depends on whether you had a laparoscopic or open surgery. For a laparoscopic surgery, most people can go back to work or their normal routine in 1 to 2 weeks, but it may take longer, depending on the type of work you do.
