I had my LPAO on Friday, February 21st, along with an arthoscopy to repair a torn labrum, and a bone graft for pelvic cysts. My surgery was completed by Dr. Steven Olson at Duke University Hospital in Durham, NC. I was told that everything went smooth during surgery, however my labrum was torn more than he had originally thought. Overall, I was in surgery for 3-4 hours and needed one auto transfusion (where they collect your own blood and give it back to you). I now have 3 screws in my hip, and a good sized incision. I have a long road ahead, but am looking forward to an active life with no pain!
