I had my gall bladder out a few years ago. I am assuming you had key hole surgery? Even with keyhole it is still a major op and you will feel a lot of pain in that area for a few months after.The feeling of not getting enough air sounds like you are hyperventilating with anxiety. :hugs:

NHS direct can be helpful, i would phone them which i did before i was diagnosed with anxiety and being unsure what was wrong with me, they can help you decide your next move and give advice. i hope this is helpful

The anaesthetic had that affect on me after I had my gall bladder out I had a couple of asthma attacks. When you are prone to anxiety anyway, an operation often triggers it again but you will get better.:hugs:
