Yep. Couple small incisions around my abdomen, no big deal. They healed up pretty quickly and after two years now, aren't even noticeable anymore unless I'm looking for them.
I've had no noticeable change in my digestive processes either - I was told there could be some difficulty digesting fatty foods, but I haven't noticed any significant change, even when eating spectacularly unhealthily. Your mileage may vary of course but I think you'll be all right. Maybe ease into the raclette for the first couple months
Just be sure to thank everyone involved at the NHS... I live in the land of the free, which meant this process very much wasn't - I spent a couple thousand dollars out of pocket, since even a very solid insurance plan here only covers around 80-90% of costs.
