Hi,

Welcome to HCM.
You can go play golf and have intercourse as soon as you feel you are perfectly fine. This should't take more than a week, provided there was no complications during or after surgery.
Laparoscopic surgery of Gall Bladder, even though it requires good expertise, there are no large external incision marks, but three small ports through which they negotiate the instruments.
Wish you safe surgery and hope you are soon fit as a fiddle to go about your daily chores.
