My wife had it done 8 years ago, shortly after the birth of our daughter. Initially it was no big deal for her, went home the next day. Of course, she's a freak of nature and had a auxiliary bile duct that the surgeon missed and she was sent home with bile leaking into her abdominal cavity. 2 days later I had her in the ER where they were astonished that the max dose they would give her of morphine wasn't touching her agony. They tried a couple of things without success and wound up opening her up to find the leak and clean out her abdominal cavity. 8 days later she finally went home.
The guy in the next curtain when I took her to the ER was funny though - he came in with a heart attack and kept coding. Between coding sessions he'd joke with his wife about who she should marry and his funeral arrangements. He was really funny, I hope he made it...
Don't worry though, like I said she's a freak. If the doctor says "this only happens to 1% of the population" she's sure to have it.
