Hi All,

Has anyone had the SILB if so please share your experience. I had this type of surgery on 07/16/10 and I had no pain after the surgery.

Hi bgaylz, This is my first time hearing about SILB,

I'm still waiting to be approved.

I have the single incision, right across/through the belly button. I can't imagine it being any better or easier for recovery!!! It's very impressive.

Other than feeling like sore muscles when I move around or sit up, I have no pain inside my stomach. Not when I drink or any other time. I wonder if this is a result of having just the one incision.

yes , I had SILB on 6/9/10 , I had very little pain and my recovery was amazing , didn't have any problems, I was a little uneasy with it when my surgeon told me that she would be using a single incision type lapband surgery, but afterwards i was very happy with her decision, because you heal quicker and you have less complications.

I'm having Single Incision lapband on August 16th. Can anyone tell me how soon where you able to return to work?

If you work in an office setting, and it isn't a hectic pace, you should be able to go back to work in a week. It will be uncomfortable, but it can be done if necessary. I'm not sure if you do manual labor. You shouldn't be lifting things for quite some time I would imagine.

I ask my surgeon about single incision and he said I was to large for that. While admittedly that was about 40 pounds ago (my surgery had to be postponed for another health issue currently now scheduled for 8/12). I wonder what weight/Belly measurement is required for single insistion.

Hi

I felt I could have return to work in two to three days, but I took to weeks. I was told not to lift anything over 20lbs.

Hi

My incision was just above my naval and the port is below my left breast. I haven't had and pain it's been over two weeks since my surgery. There is a bruise at the port sight and the incision near my naval is almost healed....in a few week there will be to signs of me having surgery.
