to answer you questions about stitches and drain: there were no stitches on the 4 small incisions for the laparoscopy and they were sealed with surgical glue

That's actually untrue. There are typically internal stitches that dissolve over time and then the outside layer of skin is sealed with surgical glue that just wears off over the course of a couple of weeks. So there are no VISIBLE stitches, but they are actually there. Glue alone would not be enough to close a wound that goes through ALL of your layers of skin.

Edit: Here's the quote from my surgical report about the incisions:

"Initial incision site closure with Polypropylene 1-0 suture. The skin was closed with 5-0 Monocryl subdermal sutures and Dermabond."
