laparoscopic versus incision procedure--which did you have?

[Paigey 7]

My surgery was laproscopic, but I only have two small scars.

One through my belly button and one just under the middle of my breasts.

Doesn't the "lap" in lapband stand for laproscopic?

laproscopic gastric banding.

There is a surgical process where doctors use natural human

Orifices to do surgery. Yes one they use is via the mouth. I don't know whether Lap Band could be done this way because of needing to cut through either the esophagus or stomach.

I had mine done with one incision through the belly button. I don't have any visible scars. I think the healing is a lot longer. It took me a while to heal, but my cycle came on the day after surgery so maybe it seemed worst than it reall was. I'm very happy with my results!:thumbup:
