    its only 4 weeks..? its still very early days. you have had an organ removed you are not super human and you will take time to heal inside.

    count yourself lucky that is all you are having.

    im 3 weeks in and my belly button incision still hasnt healed. second lot of antibiotics now and still having it dressed.

      no im not having any pain internally apart from stomach muscle ache when i get up from bed.

      you have to give your body time to heal. it takes up to 6 months to heal from gallbladder surgery.
