  1. Mine was done laparoscopically with the main/largest incision through the naval, and 4 other tiny "nicks" around my abdomen for the other tools needed to perform the procedure. My surgeon explained to me he has performed a single incision lap procedure thru the naval, but wasn't as comfortable with that approach and a 2nd tiny incision was always needed anyway in order to manipulate the forceps and hold the liver out of the way. So he reverted to a more traditional lap approach with the 5 total incisions and finds that preferable.
  2. Yes--I had 2 major surgeries (in many ways even more major than a VSG) in a 3 week span and I recovered well all things considered. My situation was complicated by infection, and I still did fine. If you seem to be recovering well from the ovarian surgery (I assume it was laparoscopic?) with no infection then the second surgery should be without significant increase in risk. I am a firm believer it is more mind over matter -- unless there is an infection which I have never been able to "wish" away! Best of luck.
