DaVinci Robot....

Hey,

I'm pretty sure the hospital I'm having the procedure at does it with the DaVinci Robot. Anyone else here have their sleeve done with the robot? Experiences?

Thanks!

I had robotic laser surgery. I experienced some pain the first 24 hours after surgery, the next day only minor soreness. I only took pain meds for the first 24 hours, then just some tylenol. I was able to walk 4 hours after surgery and every other hour afterwards. I only have 4 very small incisions instead of 5. After the first couple of days, I felt great...still do. I would say, if it is available DO IT! It is way less invasive and recovery is much easier.

I did. I woke up feeling like I had done 100 situps and my abs were sore, but that's it. I didn't need any pain meds at all. Walked in recovery and had no gas or nausea.
