You may require certain blood work before getting a laparoscopic procedure. You’ll be given instructions on what you need to do to prepare for your procedure. This may include fasting and refraining from taking certain medications. On the day of your surgery, you will receive a general anesthetic which keep you safely asleep during the operation.  Next, our surgeon typically makes three to five small incisions throughout your abdominal region. After your procedure, our surgeon closes the incisions. We’ll provide you with instructions on how to take care of yourself after your surgery. For instance, if you have a drain, we’ll teach you how to clean it. You’ll need to return to our office for a follow-up appointment to ensure you’re healing properly.
