webmd.com has alot of useful resources type in gall bladder on there search engine heres there excerpt
What To Expect After Surgery

You may have gallbladder surgery as an outpatient, or you may stay 1 or 2 days in the hospital.

After surgery you may have:

Pain in the right shoulder and upper right abdomen that lasts 24 to 72 hours (from gas used to inflate the abdomen during surgery). It may last as long as a week.
Widespread muscle aches from anesthesia.
Diarrhea.
Minor inflammation or drainage at the surgical wound sites.
Loss of appetite and some nausea.
Most people can return to their normal activities within a week to 10 days. People who have laparoscopic gallbladder surgery are sore for about a week, but within 2 to 3 weeks they have much less discomfort than people who have open surgery. No special diets or other precautions are needed after surgery.

You can expect to stop having that horrible pain. The surgery is really a simple thing now. It is called bandaid surgery. You will probably be a little sore and possibly bruised. My husband had his done and there were three little cuts. The scars virtually vanished. One of them was in the belly button.

Don't worry about the smart mouth people - they obviously aren't smart enough to really answer your question. Good luck getting some real answers. Wish I could help. Take care, Kitty

Probably feel better. I had to have mine removed and I feel a lot better than when I had it.

Ask your doctor.
