I had it done in 2001 or 2002, can't remember, and it was fine. Seriously, the whole thing took about 45 minutes, I was obviously under general anaesthetic - you can ask to get antiemetics so you don't feel urgh when you wake up - and you're swollen and it hurts a bit - but it's nothing excruciating - and seriously, it's...pretty easy going, as far as surgery goes.
I was scared, too, but you just got to...goa nd have it done and it'll be over before you know it.
I'm glad you're finally getting the gallbladder out. You'll feel so much better in the long run (even though it is scary in the short-run). I was quite relieved to be rid of the gallbladder when it was me. :)
You are fine, and you will be fine. I can't wait for your surgery to be over and healed up so you can see how much better life is without the constant pain.
alt.polycon13 send greetings and love. I have a signed programme for you and will let people who are still here (the con is closed, but some are still around) know to think good thoughts for you! ALL THE BEST and speedy recovery! HUGS!
Wishing you the best of luck for tomorrow. I hope the healing and recovery is as fast and painless as possible. Here's to being able to eat real food again.

You'll be fine. As my mother-in-law would say "Quit your fussin'". :)
