Jerry.....I had a "3 hole punch" and also an open style procedure and the " 3hole punch" hurt more for sure in the first couple weeks......You should be fine.....

Get on those drums for therapy and also walk as much as possible....it helps. Don't take the pain killers any more than absolutely necessary.......they cause more trouble than their worth and they don't really stop the pain....they just make you so doped out you don't care that your in pain......Oxycontins...... Oxycodone.....

A good buddy had the gall bladder removal surgery last year......he's fine but it did take him a while to recover.....Good luck to you....
