Yes, it is generally okay to have surgery during your period, including a gallbladder surgery. Your period does not affect the surgical outcome or need to be rescheduled. While it may be a little more uncomfortable, surgeons are accustomed to dealing with blood during surgery, and it's important to inform the medical staff so they can provide you with appropriate sanitary products and assistance
