Side effects of gallbladder removal surgery

Hi, I had my gallbladder removed yesterday and now am experiencing some symptoms, and I'm wondering if those can also be side effects of anesthesia/gallbladder removal?

Symptoms:
- bloating & sore stomach (expected)
- urinary retention (wore a catheter overnight)
- teeth chattering
- flushed cheeks

Anyone experience these after this surgery? Thanks - any commonalities will give me peace of mind!

Hi, there will some systemic symptoms post surgery, due to surgical inflammation. These should resolve post 48hrs. So, follow the instructions given by your doctor and complete any antibiotic course which has been prescribed. Take care and get well soon. Regards.
