Thank you Marcia for the info. I guess you can really tell I am new to all of this since I didn't even spell laparoscopy correctly. oops. I guess I will have to wait and see how it is for me, and I will definetly find someone to give me a hand for the first few days. Thanks again for the reply. Happy and pain free days to you all.
