These are standard aspects, which likely apply also in LifeCare’s case (unless there are special complications in your case):
Indications
Gallstones causing pain or inflammation.
Disorders such as cholecystitis (inflamed gallbladder), gallbladder constipation of function, etc.
Procedure
Small incisions (usually 3-4) are made in the abdomen.
A laparoscope (a small camera) and surgical tools are inserted.
The gallbladder is separated from its attachments (including cystic duct and cystic artery), clipped, cut, and removed.
Anesthesia

Recovery
Because it’s minimally invasive, most people have less pain, fewer complications, and faster recovery than open surgery.
Many patients are able to begin walking the same day or the next day.
Hospital stay may be overnight or about 24 hours or slightly more depending on conditions. At LifeCare they mention “many surgery discharge to be just 24 hrs.”
