Have the procedure done laparoscopically?

I hear about people being in pain from their incisions after the procedure but is anyone having it done laparoscopically?? How is the pain after that? Because that's how my surgery is being performed :)

As far as I know, they are all done laparoscopically. The incisions people talk about are the holes the doctor pokes into your stomach for the laparoscopic tools to enter. I have 5 incisions - 4 about the sized of a dime and one 2 inch incision where they pulled out the removed part of my stomach.

My doctor is goin thru my belly button an said ill only have one other incision about 6 inches above that. That's it

I have 6 incisions and one hole where the drain was. A few of them I never felt at all. A few of them felt a pulling, burning and itching for three or four weeks after. The worst of course was the larger one where the stomach was removed through.
