Yeah they did it laparoscopically. And any kind of major surgery is going to be painful, but having it done laparoscopically is much, much better than an open incision! Try not to worry, it's a very safe surgery and they'll take good care of you :)

I had gallbladder surgery with an open incision (13 cm). After the surgery, I asked the nurse when they would give me a morphine injection. OK, you'll get another one, she said. But after one night with a morphine pump the pain was almost gone, and I could get out of bed. The following night I could have slept like a baby, if my roommate hadn't been snoring all night. The surgery was two years ago, and I haven't missed my gallbladder since then.

Lap surgeries are safe and very easy. Took me about 3 weeks to get over it all vs being opened up would be more then a month.

Tilt your head back and fill your mouth with water. Don't choke! Take quick gulps of the water. Good luck!

We're all real impressed by your lack of compassion for other human beings.
