Has anyone had this procedure recently? If so where did you go, did you have keyhole surgery and were you a day patient? Also an indication of cost would be useful.

Not much use to you as we are in the uk
But my wife had it done 6 weeks ago they found over 300 stones in her gall bladder.
Key hole with 4 holes were done and it was as a day patient.
I'm leaving now to go find myself....if I arrive before I get back, please ask me to wait!

Yes would like to see replies, as i too need to have mine removed. As hospital in England said I would need to be there for 6 weeks plus as not allowed to fly for that period after the op ( even if keyhole done) which would be done in one day .

My wife was not allowed to drive for the first week, told not to lift anything heavy for 2 weeks and she had to be off work for 2 weeks too.

Dr Turgut at Kolan Hospital removed mine. Excellent care. I was in overnight and it was Keyhole. I was advised to eat no fats or very low fat for a long time and then to gradually introduce foods with fat.
