Surgery time?
Approximately 6 1/2 hours.... apparently, my liver was quite a bit more enlarged than my ultrasound report led him to believe and he had a bit of a problem working around (or under) it as my surgery was lap, and he did everything he could to keep from having to open me up. He said if it had gone any longer and he WOULD have converted to open, but the anesthesiologist assured him all my vitals were strong and stable, which is why he allowed it to go as long as it did.
I'm thankful.... though an open procedure wouldn't have been the end of the world (lots of ppl here had their DS open), I'm glad I was able to remain lap.
