Yeah, right. . . My wife had a "minimally invasive" Laparoscopic Hysterectomy as a way to reduce the remote, but possible risk of cancer. Her "rapid" recovery was a week in the hospital and two years to get anywhere near normal, which she'll naver reach, as the Lymph Node removal increased peripheral edema to the point that she cannot maintain normal activity. Prior to this 'preventive minimal procedure', she was vibrant, energetic and looking forward to many travels and activities. Now she's partly crippled, depressed and severely limited for the rest of her life... and we both regret ever being talked into such a thing as "minimally invasive".
