Carolyn,
Yes it is laparoscopic. My new Dr. has told me in my case it could take 2-3 week's or longer for recovery. I am a diabetic so things heal slower also. My greatest worry was, that I have so much pain already. This will be my third cut in the adominal aera in 5 weeks. I'm sorry, I can't spell some of the words so I am leaving them off. I hope you get my drift!

Oh, I'll be ok. I sure hope I don't need any help at home. That was a joke before. I still have someone helping me feed my pets, but not the same person.
Blessings,
Billie
