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?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
