i'm pretty sure they do it laproscopically... i had that done last summer for my galbladder... sothere were 4 incisions.. but i know my uncle only took like 4-5 days off work... i guess it depends on how fast you bounce back... i can't take Tylenol 3... so my recoup took about 2 weeks because i wasn't on the "good" drugs

that can take away ALL the pain.. i'm pretty sure all goes well it is day surgery!
