A couple dumb questions



Recommended Posts

1. Why are there 5 incisions?

2. How are medications absorbed after surgery? in the small pouch? do they slide into the main/bigger stomach? or is it absorbed in the small intestine?

THANK YOU!!:unsure:

Two for scopes; two for instruments and one for the lapband and port.

THANK YOU!!:)

The same way they are absorbed prior to surgery.
