I too had three very small incisions in a little line.. Piece of cake.. hated the bowel prep the day before.. But very little pain. They suggest you not drive or lift anything for 2 weeks. I had the stitches out in 1 week.  

And yes,you're OUT !! know nothing till they keep waking you up, and waking you up and waking you up !! I was just furious ! I wanted to sleep !!!

Let us know and Good luck,
Sandy

Its when they go in the belly button and a small incision near the hair line with a scope and look around. It does not take very long and its only day surgery. 1 or 2 days to recover, just a little sore in the 2 areas, the worst really is the gas they put in you to make it easier to see. You might have some discomfort from that in your shoulders but it passes ( dont mind the pun). You will be fine, just rest the day of the surgery, sleep. Good luck!

its the best kind to have. they make 3 itty bitty incisions to go in and do what they gotta do. recovery rate takes half the time as a normal surgery would and scaring is very minimal
