I'm a 35-year-old male engineer, and I've recently had my gallbladder removed. I'm still on bed rest and trying to figure out how much more time I might need to fully recover. Can you give me an idea of the usual recovery period for this surgery? I'm concerned about how much longer I might need to stay off work.

My 3-month-old baby has had an umbilical hernia for the past month. The belly button swelling sometimes goes back in but other times stays out, though there's no pain. The ultrasound didn't show any blockages, but some doctors recommend surgery while others say to wait at least 2 years. What should I do?
