Yes! That is what I had in October 2014. It's great because there is no scar or i should say a very small scar....in the belly button.

@@soonsleeved after we chatted the other day I called our clinic to inquire about "upgrading" my surgery to the single incision and my case worker said that you would still have a 2nd incision for the drain. And even then the single incision is all up to the doctor discretion if they can do the surgery successfully with one incision. My case worker actually talked me OUT of going with single incision and the scars are smaller than your pinky nail.... with Vitamin E oil, scaring wont appear nearly as much. Price difference (for me) wasn't worth it for 3 less scars 1/2" in length.

I couldn't imagine having 85% of my stomach pulled out through my belly button ....

      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.
