NOT TO WORRY!!!!!: This is considered one of the "simplest" abdominal procedures!! It is often done with an endoscope but if your gallbladder is large and if STONES are a problem they may wish to remove it via a small incision and explore the ducts with a catheter for small stones!! IN ANY CASE YOU WILL BE FAST ASLEEP and to use an OLD BUT TRUTHFUL Saying YOU WON'T FEEL A THING..the incsional pain is easily treated!
