Great!

Personally, the pain was no worse than bad bruising. It felt really *weird* when the drainage tube was coming out (I can still recall that sensation ... odd ... ) but it didn't hurt.

None of it was a patch on a gallstone attack for me.

I was back at work in a week, and the gym not long after, though I did hold off on abdominal work.

What WAS super different was my alcohol tolerance - previously, I had never one had a hangover, no matter how over-cooked I got ... after having my gallbladder out, I have had hangovers after nights when I wasn't even drunk. And my alcohol tolerance seemed to drop too.

So watch yourself in that regard
