I've read about a couple of positive results following LIS, but most of the posts on the first couple of pages are by people having problems after the surgery, and many even regret having had it done. There is reference to good outcomes, and happy campers, but I don't see their posts. I understand that many people come to forums with problems and complaints, and maybe the ones who do well don't post, or even come here, but since I'll be having surgery soon, I'd sure love to read about those for whom the procedure was a great success and changed their lives dramatically for the better.
