Just found out I have a 1.5 cm gallstone

@susanf8 Thanks for this info.
I did see the surgeon today. He explained that there may be more and mine was elongated.
I love olive oil. LOL
He wants to do surgery next Wednesday! (I just received my Autho approved form insurance) He said I would heal quickly and go on my vacation in the next 3 weeks. I really need the weekend to decide.
My last surgery was supposed to be robotic, and they had to cut me belly button done.
Good on your scarring! I did ask that and he said he would be in a totally different area and was not concerned about that.
How long did it take for you to heal?
I have heard people saying they now have GI issues.

@linda82 honestly, it was in 1997 (or 98), so not really sure, but it was pretty quick. I think I had it on a Friday and went back to work on Wednesday, or the following Monday.
Some people need to take bile acid binders after their cholecystectomy, because without a gallbladder, bile is just constantly dribbles into the intestine. I've never needed them.
I think if the surgeon wants to get you in that fast there is probably a reason!

@linda82 - for what it's worth, I've had zero issues once I healed up in 2 weeks or so after my gallbladder attack and surgery.
