Can my gall bladder be removed endoscopically?

I found out this week that I need to have my gall bladder removed. Thanks to this board, I found information to assist me in giving info to my WLS surgeon. I thought I might have had a bowel obstruction or possibly dumped on alcohol, (see my profile), but someone asked a question regarding the type of pain I experienced, and lo and behold, after discussing it w/ my surgeon, I had a sonogram that confirmed gall stones. SO, I spoke to my PS, and told him that the surgery is scheduled to be done 6 weeks before my abdominoplasty (if I get approved). He suggested strongly that it would be better/easier for him, if the gall bladder was done endoscopically. Can RNY post-ops have this type of procedure?? Have any of you had lap gall bladder surgery then abdominoplasty?? I would appreciate any info or anyone sharing their experiences. Thanks!!!
