The pain associated with an attach is totally disabling.
Had my gall bladder removed 18 years ago at the age of 26.
Two days in hospital post operatively.
Running 8 days later and just a little tender.
Used that fancy laproscope thingy. Four small cuts, no stitches.
Doctor said in about 5% of cases he had to make an old style incision to complete the surgery. This will have you in hospital 10+ days and off work about 6 weeks.
