Does gallbladder removal during wls add to length of surgery?

I will be having my wls this Friday (Yippee!!), and I will be having my gallbladder removed also. Does this add to the length of the surgery, or is it something that they can get to, and take out, fairly quickly?? Also, does it make a difference in your recovery?? More pain, etc..?? I don't see why it would, but just wondering. Thanks a bunch!! Btw, I'll be having Open RNY.
