single incision anyone?

[lynndtt 21]

I was reading the advertisement on the forum about a single incision gastric sleeve procedure, has anyone had this or is it too new? That would be great and will probably be the norm in the future for VSG.

I have heard of it but the surgeon's here (in Alberta, Canada) I believe do the 4 incisions. its not that bad having 4, they are small, the largest being one inch long and the smallest being maybe 1/8th of an inch long. and they are already disappearing and Im 7 months out.

I know someone that had this done on the Army base in Hawaii. The doctor goes in through your belly button and write at your bra line. Two incisions total... And extremely small!

I am having the single incision procedure done on Tuesday. My understanding is that there will only be one incision below the breast bone. It is between muscles and they will put a pad in there that will numb things for a few days until things start healing. It will be done at Madigan Hospital in Tacoma. I'm not sure if I'll be up to posting, but I'll try to let you know how things go.

I got it done 3 weeks back on 10th june.only one incision in the belly button.they made a video of the surgery and gave it to me.its a bit more expensive but totally worth it.recovery is super fast.

My surgeon does them. But my bmi is too high, so it think I'm having 4 or 5.
