Yep, I did. Da'Vinci robotics (I had a post a while back with links).

The experience?? ........ Went into the OR......woke up later. Just kidding.

The experience is the essentially the Surgeon's of course. As far as outcome, my sleeve went smooth as a bell. Pretty much by the book, no pain, no issues (knock on wood). A month later and barely a trace of the marks. I also had unbilical and heital hernias repaired. No issues from those as well.

I also had robotic assisted laparoscopic vsg, and I had some pain post-op but nothing out of this world that wouldn't be expected after major surgery. I've had no complications whatsoever from the surgery, just some increasing pain about a month after surgery, but the CT scan was negative for anything, so they figured it was just muscular pain.
