I've had it done twice with no problems at all. In and out the same day; no pain. I'm scheduled for another one early next month.
Going through the liver and diaphragm, however, sounds a bit more invasive than what I've had, so I can't really say.
Best of luck to both of you and here's hoping for a swift, painless recovery.
