3. Safe area?

   catalinaa21 replied to JennyMac's topic in New York

    catalinaa21 replied to JBGC4's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Don't worry its a very easy procedure, I had it done a year ago, they did keyhole incisions and I recuperated in about 2 weeks. The pain from the stones is much worse than the surgery. My procedure was outpatient.
