    Robotic Surgery

    Yes I had to do one two weeks prior and it was difficult to say the least, but worth it! I had a lady in the room next to me that when they went in she had food in her stomach and they ended up opening her, and then she had a serious wound infection afterwards, totally not worth it! Good luck and you will do great, the best thing to do is always follow your Dr's advice!

    Robotic Surgery

    My surgeon is the same one that did my initial surgery and his team works for one of the hospitals here in Miami that is a Center of Excellence in Bariatric surgery so the entire team uses it now. You will definetly have a positive experience! Did they put you an a liquid diet?
  7. Normz956 and beachbum, you ladies are dong great! I had my initial RNY eight years ago and my staring weight was 383, by 18 mths post op I was down to 213. Maintained that for a few years, over the last couple of years I gained up to 266. I just had a revision RNY on 8/20 because my anastomosis was dialated. This is the best single thing I have ever done, without this I would of never gotten down to what I did, I chose to go through this again for several reasons but most importantly because I never want to go back to feeling like I did at 383 ever again! Good luck on your journeys and know that you ladies will succeed!

    Robotic Surgery

    I had my Revision RNY on 8/20 with the davinci robot. But again it was a revision. I did find less pain than my original RNY that was done laprascopically and the incisions five of them are thinner than the first ones. I was discharged four days later and on the fifth was shopping. So far so good some pain on the left where my drain was and most of the surgery is done.

    Glad everything went well!
  16. Let me clear something up, No they did not let ME eat until they did the upper gi to make sure I had no leaks, once results come in they took it out and begin ME on Clear liquids. Everyone's experience is different, this was soley my experience.
