Sorry I haven't had this op. I can tell you that any lap. operation can be very painful due to trapped air in your abdominal cavity. After a Lap Cholecystectomy ( gall bladder ) , I felt like a had been run over by a HGV. Don't think of it as an easier option than the traditional route. See what your consultant advises when you discuss it. |

sorry to here that. Ive been on daily meds for years which definantly help added with life style. Think a weeks worth of pain maybe better than popping a pill every day and feeling ill every morning. I lost my second uncle last year too after his turned cancerous all be it in his late 70's went down hill very quickly and they wouldnt operate.  |

"Anyone had this operation by anychance. I am Looking to convince my consultant to do it once all my test results back."
Had it done in November. Not too many problems apart from a bit of post op pain which Tramadol helped with. It is taking time to get back onto a normal diet but that's not doing any harm.
It wasn't fun but well worth it. |

I've only ever had laps for gynae ops - 3 cuts in bikini line area & 1 in belly button.
They blow your belly up until you look 9 months pregnant & it slowly releases itself through your body - my trapped air seems to like coming out of my left shoulder & I'm told by my dad I look like when my nan was having a stroke.
Well worth it though just lots of pain relief & a week or 2 off work after with no heavy lifting |

I had nearly two years of tests, cameras, barium, oesophageal dilation, eventually I was having to take food out of diet almost daily as I either couldn't swallow or choked on it, when I managed to get onto a waiting list for a surgeon out of the area (an hour away) had surgery November.
I took a good amount of time off work to recover, the initial surgery pain was pretty much gone in a couple of weeks.
I still have to take it easy with food, very much drinks and soups, but it's still very early days, and I've managed to kick start weight loss.
I don't know if it's the same for everyone, but I was told that in my case I would feel like I'd had a gastric band.
If you fancy a chat about it feel free to PM me... |
