So I'm booked to see someone (anethaputsyoutosleep) in a few weeks to see if I'm gonna be OK for it then apparently its only a 3 month wait, they do this op many times a day.
Looks like I may well be going to Blackburn...

I had this done 12 years ago, I had to have it as an emergency in the end as I developed Cholecystitis, was in agony and was bordering on septic. They removed it keyhole, I needed only Paracetamol for a day or so after, (although they did offer me something stronger, I just didn't need it), and was home the following morning after an overnight stay. The care was brilliant (at RBH), and I made an excellent recovery. I had the full 6 weeks off work at the advice of my GP, and have been so much better since. Good luck with your procedure and be kind to yourself after.
