Please don’t fear it. Especially if your doctor is well experienced with the lap equipment. As a part of your progress plan you will be advised to get a host of vaccines. I will be going back next week to get my boosters of those vaccines. Expect to rest for about two weeks and get up and walk as soon as you can in the hospital. They will encourage that. Liquid diet for a few days that will progress to soft foods. Then 6 small meals/snacks each day until it’s understood how the enzymes are working for you. You will be okay. We are so blessed that medicine has come this far to do this via Lap.
