I had mine done in the 70's have a huge scar partly because they ended p doing an exploratory. They thought I had stomach cancer. I didn't. I had pancreatis because I waited too long on the gall bladder.
Ten years later I had another surgery and the girl across from me had the laporostic type done on her gall bladder. She was feeling wonderful hours after the surgery. Up all over the room, walking down halls, etc. She went home the next morning, while I was stuck for a week!
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your son. No matter how major or minor an operation is, it is still invasive surgery and no picnic!
