Does anyone have any advice for my wife that is worried about having her gallbladder out?

Thankyou very much!!Does anyone have any advice for my wife that is worried about having her gallbladder out?
I had my gallbladder out last year and it was a very simple, 20-30 minute procedure. I got to the hospital around 7:30 and they brought me to the operating room sometime after 9:30. By 11:30-12, the nurse was telling me that I can go home whenever I'm ready. The first couple of days, I was in a little pain but of course that is normal. I did not eat much after. I drank a lot of water before and after the surgery to stay hydrated and I would eat a few crackers or soft foods like apple sauce. I had my surgery on a Friday and I was back to work the following Wednesday. I could have gone to work that Tuesday but I decided to take advantage of the situation and stay home an extra day.
