Chas, the only restrictions I had was to not pick up anything heavier than 10 pounds for the first 7 days, then go back to my normal routine. Consequently, I had to get my daughter to help me load, setup and unload my music gear for the jobs, but I still was able to do my performances without a hitch. My procedure was laparoscopic as well, but not computer assisted. Just my surgeon on the other end of the scope and performing the procedure manually. I sincerely hope you do not suffer any painful after affects from the surgery.

Good luck, Chas, and keep us posted,

Gary
