My only word of caution would be that my diseased gall bladder caused adhesions, so while you are avoiding surgery to protect yourself from getting more, you could be growing more like I did.
Laparoscopic is the best way to go in my opinion, My incision was only 1 1/2 inches. While I do have pain in this area since the surgery, I am not near so sick as I was walking around for so long with that nasty thing!
Hope this helps...sorry no easy answer on this one.
Love,
Janet
