2 holes is just plain wrong. They need one hole for the camera. They also need multiple holes for the instruments. You can expect 3 - 5 holes, about 1 - 2 cm each. My husband had 5 (incisions, that is). Contrary to some people's blase attitudes (not necessarily just in this thread--but in real life too), you will NOT be doing jumping jacks the next day.

7 - 10 days and you're all "back to normal" for an OPEN ABDOMINAL SURGERY? A 5 - 8 inch abdominal incision. Most people stay in the hospital for 5 - 7 days after this. It is NOT minor. Either you have a VERY different idea of "back to normal" than most people or you are on crack.
I normally don't respond in depth on GFY, but I couldn't stand to see this misinformation go undisputed.
