Anyone have "single" incision surgery

Hutch444: Thanks for your reply about the single incision surgery. How fast did you heal? Was there alot of pain involved. Is there alot of bleeding during the procedure? I'm concerned about complications of this surgery. The more I research the more questions I have. I should be more courageous......but scared. cat lady:scared2:

I had absolutely no complications. My surgeon has a mandatory rule that all patients must spend the night in the hospital, so I received pain meds while there, but I didn't take anything once I got home. I took a week off work and I was glad because it did feel like I was hit by a truck for a few days and sleeping was very uncomfortable, but after about 3 days, I was all good. I never had a problem.

Now, when I was at the surgeon this last time, there were 2 girls that were having leakage from their belly buttons and so we all had to go back and get u/s and blood work to check for infections, but I'm clear and very happy with the way it was done.

I know you'll be fine. Nothing to worry about. Then all you'll have to do is get used to feeling this port under your skin all the time! :thumbup:
