Hello and thanks you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can with my answer.
It will be decided by anesthesiologists and you dont have to be worried about it since chilecystectomy is not causing significant pain and it can be controlled with nonsteroid painkillers. opiates are not required in most cases.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
