Does Dr Aceves Do The Spider Or Traditional Vsg?

[amykins 202]

Just curious. If it's traditional, is it 5 scars? I already have several from my gall bladder removal, so I don't kow why it really matters, but I'm curious...

Mine was traditional. I think most world-wide are traditional, I have only seen spider from a few places and none in Mexico so far.

Thanks for answering. Can you tell I'm getting close and starting to worry about the little things like scars?

I believe that Dr Aceves typically does the traditional w/ 5 incisions. One thing to note - I followed the pre op diet (w/ a couple of slip ups) and my liver had shrunk enough that he didn't need to retract it, so I only have 4 incisions. So, he adapts to what he finds with each patient. Also, the scars are small & mine healed easily.

I wish you the best of luck! You'll be in great hands with Dr Aceves & his entire team!
