I feel your pain. I had my gallbladder out back in June of 2001. Boy, what a relief! I had laparoscopic. The pain was not too bad after. Especially compared to the pain I was in pre-surgery. Mine was severely infected, not just filled up with stones. On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd say the surgery was about a 3 as far as healing and aftereffects.

I didn't *notice* any issues connected with it. I've had PN in my feet for longer than before my surgery. Maybe the post-surgical pain meds help with any increased sensation that might be experienced in relation to the surgery?
