David,
Hi! I have had several abdominal surgeries that were supposed to be done by
laparscope. Unfortunately, my adhesions were so bad that nothing could be
done by the scope and they had to cut me open. I have had several friends
that have gone thru the procedure and they healed up really good and much
sooner than had they been cut on. All that I have heard on the negative side
is there is a lot of gas pains after laparscopy. Good luck to you and I hope
all goes well.
