Yes the old school way was harder on the body . Not to mention its different for everyone one guy could breeze through a surgical procedure and another can have complications .Ahh... thanks for that vision. I'll remember you if I ever get something like that done. :/
As my father told me.. he's had it done decades ago and he was in the hospital for like 2 months.. his last one years ago he was like in and out. Huge difference.
