I had that surgery 2 years ago. Tell her it is a piece of cake. She will be pretty sore for a week and shouldn't pick up anything for a couple of weeks but that is all. A major gallbladder attack is a serious thing so she is wise to get this over with before that happens. Tell her to just move slowly for a few days and she will be fine.
Thanks, Ditter. You seem to be reporting what everyone else has. I'm ready to get this done--I just need to get over the strep first! The hardest part is going to be keeping my 3 yr old off of me. He's such a physical little boy, always jumping and running!
