Wow!! If you have a opportunity to have robotic surgery, it is the way to go! So much less evasive, so precise and faster recovery!! Loved it!

Glad to hear, I'm having mine done on Wednesday with a robot to. I heard it's much nicer of a recovery also. Did you still have the 5 incisions, or just 1?

Robotic surgery is the new future of surgery. It has movements that a doctor simply cannot make but can simulate via the console. It also eliminates human error. Not so sure about less invasive since we use the same amount of trocar incision sites as non-robot surgeries at least we do at my hospital. I'm glad to hear that your receovery time was less time though!

I read that the spider robotic technique is one incision.

I have 6 incisions. My Dr. Said less invasive because all moves inside are precise and minimal.

I am not sure I would trust my life ( yet) to robotic surgery. What happens if there is a bug or glitch in the robotic firmware that causes complications that a skill human surgeon would never make. And it leads to serious complications or even death. Who is responsible? As a professional software developer of mission critical software, I know there will always be glitches because the developers are only human. Just something to ponder...

But the doctors performing surgery are only human as well. :) I'd absoluuuuuuuuuuutely trust a robot over a human!!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
