Hi here has had single incision? Is it as painful as they say and as invisible as they claim?? I'm looking at Dr Diez at MBC in Tijuana? ?

Mine was 5 holes, but I've seen pictures of the single incision. The one I saw went in through the belly button. I haven't heard any reports of pain levels.

I was looking at that same doctor and procedure but decided on his colleague dr Valenzuela with the traditional 5 incisions based on cost and I figured it was less practiced than the traditional procedure. And couldn't help but wonder why so few docs do that procedure. I dunno... I also know that the little incisions from my robotic hysterectomy all the same size as these ones will be, have all healed and become basiclly invisible within a year. But if you're going with single incision with that Doc, he does have an excellent reputation. Good luck...

Yeah I'm schedualed with Dr. V right now for Tuesday, Diez just had a last minute opening. I decided to stick with Dr. V. Less risk less money less pain. I wondered the same thing why not do many docs do it.. I need to get right back to work and I'm going alone to Mexico don't need anymore stress. How was Dr. V??

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
