Had my gall bladder removed in 97. Outpatient laparoscope. I was home the same day. No recovery time
Another complication of my Paris gallbladder surgery was that about ten years later I had bile duct blockage from scar tissue from the earlier surgery. I gather that you can die in a day or so from bile duct blockage in some situations. My blockage caused me to shake like crazy as though I were extremely cold. I called a surgeon I knew, and he got me into the hospital ASAP. An endoscopic procedure was then used to burn a hole through the scar tissue.
