Had my gall bladder removed a while ago. Basically, it should either go well, or it could go unwell. It will probably depend most on how inflamed it is.
I was able to do laser surgery, which meant only four small cuts. I was in the hospital for barely 4 hours on that surgery, and the pain killers they gave me I took only because I had them, not because I needed them. I was back at work the next day, though a little slow, and felt completely fine within a couple weeks, after the stitches dissolved and the skin healed.
If they can't do it by laser, they have to cut you open. And that means a week in hospital, and a couple more after that laid up at home. Apparently this is much less pleasant (duh), so hopefully you can do the laser surgery.
