Laparoscopic removal of Gallbladder is usually safe and u can return to your daily routine by next day.. Carrying child of 9months should not be an issue..

Laparoscopic gall bladder surgery is a common and safe surgery for a mother with a 9 month old baby.
You can take the following precautions:
- inform your surgeon and anaesthetist to avoid any medications that may be passed on to your child through breast milk.
- try to store breast milk for your child on the day before surgery, for the next 1-2 days, as needed.
When done at a good center and experienced surgeon, you could probably be back home on the morning after your surgery. You can pick up your child once home, but be careful for the first 3-4 days, as you may have a little pain.
