Melissa - I've had 3 C-Sections (bikini line), one lap procedure for GYN problems, and an appendectomy. I had Lap RNY 7 weeks ago. My procedure from start to finish took 2 1/2 hours - doctor didn't encounter any terrible adhesions and I am doing great. I was home the next day and back to work in a week. I've got three kids ages 12, 7, and 5 and have more energy now than I know what to do with! Good luck to you.

Prior to my lap RNY I had had 2 C-sections, an abdominal hysterectomy, and a "tradtional" gall bladder surgery. The C-sections and hysterectomy were not an issue at all because the lap RNY involves only the upper abdomen. I had significant adhesions from the gall bladder surgery, but it presented no problems for my surgeon. He simply corrected the adhesions during the lap RNY. Good luck!
