I had a stone that was close to 3 cm plus a bunch of loose gravel, so the doc pulled my gall bladder while he was in the neighborhood. I ended up with 7 holes, but none of them needed more than adhesive strips to hold them shut while they healed.
The gas is bad now and your insides are extremely tender. As they heal, the effect of gas will reduce considerably. The first week is the worst unless you do something unwise and provoke your body to hurt you.
Welcome to the bench!!

Congratulations on joining the Losers' Bench.
Rest well, take things easy and one day at a time, sip sip sip walk walk walk.
Walking will help move the gas and ease the pain, but the pain level and how long varies from person to person. Should be much better after the first week, though.
