Are you prone to bleeding? Other complicating medical issues?

Nope

you better have a bathroom staked out and reserved for about 5-6 minutes of non-stop explosive diarrhea. It is like Niagara Falls exiting my arse. Everyone says it gets back to normal but it's been over 6 months and still happening frequently.
Take a bile binder of some sort or increase the amount of fiber in your diet (assuming you don't eat a lot of fiber regularly). You will visit the toilet more often, but you shouldn't have daily diarrhea.

The pain migrated to your shoulders but the gas actually stays in your abdomen--it's referred pain like someone's arm hurting with a heart attack. Mylicon won't do anything for it but make you feel like you're doing something--your body just has to absorb the CO2 from the gas over a few hours or days.
I feel like I had these issues for months after surgery. I had the shoulder/arm pain, and I also felt something like a mass in my lower left side that bugged me enough to get a CT scan (already met my out-of-pocket by that point anyway). It didn't go away until probably 6 months post-surgery. Nothing to go nuts over though

Interesting. Definitely not from insufflation gas.

I would have thought. I'm not suffering from those issues anymore though.
Nothing showed up on the CT scan. I had an EKG that came back normal as well.

I had mine almost 2 years ago. Get up and move after the surgery and breath deeply when laying around. I had a lung partially calapse and had to go to er because they thought it was a clot. Meds were bad for me, lots of itching and nausea. Was out of work from Thurs- Tues. Took it easy at work for about another 6 weeks.
I still have times when I eat and it goes straight through me. No ryhme or reason it seems.

Had a bleeder that wouldn't stop, had to open me up to find it, stomach looks like Frankenstein now.
Three people, two I knew personally the other a employee of a friend bleed out and died. All three were females in their 50s and in good health. two were for gall bladder, the other for some type of OB/Gyn issue. One died during the procedure, the others at home after their procedure. One went to bed not feeling well, several hours later her husband went to check on her and she was unresponsive, the other happened about the same way. If I were having a laparoscopic procedure I would want someone available to constantly observe me for the first 24 hours after the surgery.

Had it a year ago after putting it off and suffering through a year of pain. Co-morbidity of pancreatitis as a result. Still struggling recovering from the pancreatitis. The lap chole part is fine though, only notice it at all when the pancreatitis REALLY acts up. (pancreas makes bile, gallbladder stores it so when pancreas goes wild kinda feel pressure in the removal site)
If you need the GB removed, git'r'dun and stay away from fatty foods and chocolate for a couple months after (slowly add those back into routine).
Don't be a typical guy and be all, "it'll get better on it's own". There's some things we all need help with sooner or later.

I eval a bunch of them in the hospital post surgery to make sure they're good to get home and aren't having any problems with their abdominal precautions. Everybody does fine for the most part. Don't twist or bend at the waist or do anything that makes your abdominal muscles really kick in. Also avoid reaching overhead and holding anything more than 8 lbs or so (gallon of milk).
