Has anyone had their gallbladder removed and it couldn't be done laparoscopically?

I am 21 months post op and I am having my gall bladder removed next week. My surgeon said that he might have to do it open rather than laparoscopic. He said it depends on the amount of scar tissue I have because of my gastric bypass. Has anyone else had their gall bladder removed post op and needed it done open?
