daVinci robotic surgery anyone?



Recommended Posts

Hurray, so glad to get news from you and that you are doing well.

I am going to get a surgery date today. I am expecting late October but we'll see. You will be about one month ahead of me and we both are 5' 5" and have a goal weight of 150. Team NOVA is well on it's way!

Much better to have it done and be on the road to recovery even without the daVinci I will not be disappointed if it ends up that they cannot use the davinci as long as it gets done.

I had bypass with Moazzez and the robot and everything went just fine.

How are you doing 4mickeymoose?

33 lbs is impressive. How is your recovery going? Any advice?

My bypass is October 28th and there are 3 other girls I follow with October dates. We are all trying to ready ourselves for the big moment.

Hurray for you DaronB!

My surgery in on October 28th. I hope to be home by the 31st. I do think it is wonderful to have it on Halloween because you can Celebrate your new beginning every year.

Good luck to you too,

Mine was in July '14 and was DaVinvci robotic, 6 little 1" incisions (scars). Recovery is do much easier with robotic surgery ????

I just had da Vinci robotic for the sleeve on Monday, and had a da Vinci robotic for a total hysterectomy. I think the positives override negatives by quite a ways! Good luck.

      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.
