im about to have a liposuction but just was told that i need to have a laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. Which operation should i have first? I live abroad and Im in my home country til 14th september. Im planning to have the laparoscopic surgery (they will just remove the stones not the gallbladder,im not in pain at all) this wed1st and lipo (abdomen&thighs) on mon6th as i've been told the laparoscopic is very simple and i should be fine in a couple of days.Is this correct,or should i have the lipo first?Had a lipo a year ago and recovered pretty quickly(was back to my normal activities in 3 days)

Gallbladder operation first (cholecystectomy) prior to liposuction

In my mind, the use of narcotic analgesics with lipo could precipitate an attack and the potential weight gain and loss with the gallbladder surgery could effect the lipo results. Therefore I would have the gallbladder operation first (cholecystectomy)
