Stomaphyx - have any of you heard of this procedure?

Michelle, My surgeon and others in his office are now offering this surgery. It's super new, so I don't know anyone personally who has had it. I've also heard that in the near future, all abdominal surgeries (i.e. gall bladder, etc) will be done through the mouth. They've even gone so far as to say that some day these surgeries will be done in the doctor's office. Scary, huh? Jenn
