Single Incision Sleeve Gastrectomy



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I will be having single incision surgery for my sleeve, can anyone tell me how you felt post-op? Pain? Recovery time? I've had two prior laparoscopic surgeries, and I'm worried there will be a lot of scar tissue. Did anyone have any complications from having the single incision? Any comments are welcome.

Thanks!

I am thinking about doing the same, with the Spider Tool. Interested in hearing any input as well. :)

I got 6 incisions and they weren't that bad. I can't imagine what 1 incision will look like but am very sure that incision site will end up in your belly button. ;)

I'm not sure exactly what kind of single incision apparatus your doctor will be using but in all the surgeries in which I have seen the single incision is a 15mm port. Meaning that single incision will be little bigger than those associated with the 6 port laparoscopic sleeve surgeries.

Regardless, that's exciting and congrats to you!
