I had mine taken out nearly 12months ago and I have still not recovered from it.. I was in hospital for a week and I couldn't do anything for 2 weeks after I got extremely sick after it also though my stone was the biggest the dr had ever seen and my gallbladder was 4times the normal size so I may have had worse due to it being soo bad ... Also be prepared to sleep alot because you will definately need it...

Please don't think I am trying to scare you but I was told it takes a good 18 months to fully recover
