Wjats your Experience with gallbladder removal

I’ve been having terrible stomach pains every now and then for now 3 months. Finally drs saw I have gallstones and they will need to refer me to a specialist to possibly have my gallbladder removed. I have an almost 3 month old daughter who I feed with expresses milk because I work so I can’t be with her as much as I would like in order to feed her. Both husband and I work 12-14 hour shifts and were living outside the US so we don’t have family close that could possibly help. I want to know y’all’s experience with it, mostly if it’s likely I will need to have my mil🙃 come help while I get better, but I’m also wondering about the removal itself, how’s the recovery, is it painful, what kind of medications do you likely get with it, will I possibly still be able to feed my daughter. Thank you for y’all’s input
