Who did your op at Heartlands? Did you have open or keyhole surgery?

"Keyhole" instead of "lap". Very interesting.

Hiya,
My Surgeon was Mr Kumar, and he was lovely, I had My Gastric Bypass via Keyhole surgery and all went really well... I am looking forward to eating other foods, as my new pouch only likes very liquidized stuff at the moment, but doing ok...Slow but sure and the weight loss is great so far..
Please feel free to email me, keep in touch
God bless

Hi Doc,
Yes Sorry, I have tried to chat using the terms everyone else uses, but to be honest there are a lot of differences, and it gets confusing for me sometimes... LOL but they do use laparoscopic, but very often "keyhole" is used when things are being explained...LOL
How are you Doc, you are always here for others, just wondered how you are?
God Bless

Hi Doc,
Yes in the uk that is a most common term although in hospital the medics still use Lap also....Funny the different terminolgy of things, since being on this site, I have had to look things up before as I haven't known what folk have been talking about...lol
Hope you are ok Doc, as you are always around for everyone else, just wondered how you were..
Hugs..

In our automotive engineering program, we often have students from lands where they learned the British terminology for vehicles (Nepal, India, etc.) I have had to make a translator to go from British to American and back so that they don't get confused, because we don't use the same terms at all.
