Don't be nervous. I had mine out almost 18 months ago. Surgery was keyhole and I was under for around 2 hours I think. You can come home same day.
Best thing I ever had done. Good luck  |

Assuming it's a laparoscopic cholecystectomy?
It's the most common general surgical operation in the UK.
In 1988 it wasnt common. I sold all the camera kit and scopes and peripheral equipment to surgeons used to opening up.patients with a high rate of complications.
Don't brick it. This is gravy to a general surgeon.
If you wanna know what will happen from someone who watched hundreds of these operations pm me.
Good luck. Don't fret.

I had to have an op in Feb this year and the idea of going under was daunting, but the anaesthestist that does this does it a fair few times a day and is highly trained at what they do. To be fair when had mine done all I saw was the liquid in the cannula and off I drifted. xT |

Fonda has her gall bladder removed quite a few years back, the procedure was very simple, when coming round from the anaesthetic she punched the doctor in the face   |

Same here. I just remember a fella stroking my hand a lot (looking for a vein!) and *poof* i was out. Woke up in recovery room. 
You’re in good hands OP, try not to worry x |

Out and home on heavy medication but more or less pain free first time in over 2 years. Just a bit uncomfortable but worth the op. Now healthy eating and healthy living x |

Love that feeling of going under GA...it’s like your d*unk and then pass out. Next thing you know it’s all done with and you can have a brew and some toast |
