Single Incision Sleeve



Recommended Posts

So, I just found out that Dr. Garcia does the single incision surgery!! I know that a few people have said the incisions aren't bad anyway, but for someone that doesn't want any this could be an option for you! :) just thought I'd relay the info!

I had a single incision and it was great. Only one incision in my belly button. Ive had my gall bladder out laproscopically so I know the maintenance and healing process of having the multiple incisions and Id choose single incision every time! Instead of being concerned with my insides healing AND my mulitple exterior incisions, I really only had to worry about my insides. My one incision was a piece of cake.

Jesser how did I find out about the Single incision. I am using Dr. Garcia and would like to have a single incision. BUT is this a new procedure for Dr. Garcia. I totally trust him but I don't want to be a guinea pig, if you know what I mean LOL

I'm guessing since mid November. Zenoosh posted late October stating that she had 3 incisions and that they were going to start doing single incisions in a few weeks, so that would have put it around then.

I talked to alma about single incision with Dr Garcia.... He does do it, BMI must be below 35 and its an extra $1000.

Correction... BMI has to be between 30-40. I just rechecked her email response to me.

Yes I remember when she posted that. I have been watching ever since but this was the first thing that I have seen on it. I didn't realize Dr. Garcia had a Facebook page. However, I'm afraid to hit like because my family doesn't know that I am going to Mexico yet. They know I'm having the surgery but not in Mexico.

Same here, I just check every so often. I liked some things today and had to hurry up And unlike them, remembering that everyone can see that. Oops.

And it's not worth the extra 1,000 for me. That's a REALLY nice treadmill or clothing as I lose , you know?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
