ljm - Thank you for the photos. I have been watching your progress since early January. You gave me the confidence to go forward with my own TT. I got insurance approval yesterday. I am scheduled to have the TT on April 18th. I am very excited. My PS said that there may be some concern with the gallbladder scar. May have to revise later, or something like that. Yours didn't have any concern? Mine looks like a zipper. I never knew that it was called that.

Dr. JLo, Have you done a TT on a patient with a large gallbladder scar? My scar is about six inches long diagonally on the right side. I've been told that this may be a problem. I, also, have scars for lap band surgery, 2 c-sections (vertical), hysterectomy (horizonal), and appendectomy. :thumbup: Has anyone out there had a TT who had a scar gallbladder? Thank you.

I've had two c-sections and a hysterectomy. Has anyone been able to use this procedure as a kind of TT and had it covered by insurance? What was the surgery like? How long in hospital? How long out of work? How did it come out? Any other information would be helpful.:help: Thank you. Cheryl
