In the vast majority of cases, yes. Unless you have several other significant medical issues, or were already admitted to the hospital.

Barring any complications, gallbladder removal is typically an outpatient procedure. I would speak with your surgeon to verify what his plan is for you the day of surgery.
If there are no complications, it’s possible.
Either same day or next day depending on pain tolerance and surgeon preference if done laparoscopic
Usually yes but this is best asked of a surgeon, which I am not.
If it is done laparacopically without complications.
Hi,
Recovery times from surgery differ vastly; there is an estimated or average time in each case. These can be gleaned from a simple internet search.
Thank you.
Typically.
