Actually, I had a closed LIS with stitches. Just because you have a closed LIS doesn't mean you won't have stitches - it is up to the surgeon. My CRS prefers a stitch because he said he thinks it reduces the chance of an infection. I had minimal bleeding (more like spotting) post-LIS. In fact, if I hadn't been looking for it, I probably wouldn't have even noticed it.
