I had entered a reply based on watching my daughter recover from gall bladder surgery but decided against.  This is a question for your surgeon.

I plan on talking with my surgeon on my follow up appointment in two weeks and will follow her recommendations and that is why I am looking for a 'very rough eta' off of personal experience. I am very aware each case can be unique.

I've not had my gall bladder removed but did have my appendix removed, I was 8 weeks out from surgery before I could swing a club.  The first 3 or 4 rounds were a little difficult, I was very sore even though I had been to the range and hit balls prior to playing.

Yeah, wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?

I had mine out just over a year ago. It was very infected, almost gangrenous. I spent three nights in the hospital on IV antibiotics. One week after surgery, I walked 3 miles with my wife and dog. My follow up with the surgeon was just a bit over two weeks following the surgery, and I played nine holes the next day. I was 59 at the time, and I was in fairly good shape, but it took awhile to get my stamina back. Do exactly what the doc tells you, and you should be fine.
