I am going for consultation May 16 does any one have any questions I should ask or comments about the surgery..I had a couple questions like where's the port? How big is the incision? and " What kind of pain meds work best for post-op? I am getting really excited finally I'll be out of Labne Bryant an Hello Maurices and Lerner's!!!!!!

The first thing you'll learn is that everybody is different. Some have no pain after surgery, others have a rough recovery. I was never in pain, I just had bloating and bad discomfort, but nothing painful.

Most of us have 5 small incisions, and they put the ports in a lot of different places. You can use the "SEARCH" feature here using words like, "scar" or "incision" and find pictures of what the wounds look like. Some people heal and have practically invisible scars, others have more noticable ones. Do some searches & you'll find loads of information. Good luck.
