Its possible: If you had a temporizing procedure, the cholecystomy, and now going for surgery to remove the diseased gallbladder, you are in a higher risk category. However, please understand that without the cholecystomy, your risk would be even higher. Your surgeon will give you the details, usually after the procedure. If all goes well, you will likely remain in the outpatient category. Good luck.
