DaVinci robotic surgery

Has anyone had surgery using the DaVinci - either sleeve or RNY? Curious about any positive or negative outcomes of the technique.

My sleeve was done with this robot. All positive from me. Amazing tech! Incisions are very small and healing really well, no complications, and the surgery itself was very quick. I've heard that you should ask your surgeon how many procedures he/she has done with the robot to make sure that they are well experienced using it.

I had surgery with the DaVinci, and can compare it to the healing process of having an incision from a c-section many years ago. Hands down the robotic method was better for recovery, managing the incision site(s), and the pain. I do agree that for any surgery technique, you want to make sure that your doctor is experienced in the procedure.
