Hi Shawnee, I live in Dallas. I just had robotic lapriscopic surgery on Wednesday. I am just starting third day post op so I can’t say yet how I feel cause I have all the pain from the surgery. My surgeon is older so he has done this before. He was very confident in what needed to be done. He told my family when came out that it was very successful. Another vascular surgeon was ready to assist but was not needed. They were ready to convert to open if needed but didn’t him after al. I will update as I progress. I believe I can tell that I am able to eat more and don’t have that after eating pain but as I said, I’m holding cmmenting too much till I am out of this surgical pain.
