@Elle_Woods best of luck to you! I've never heard of a single incision surgery. How interesting. Is it laparoscopic?

@jodi1980 thank you! :) it is, and it is literally done through one incision in the belly button....so no visible scar! I am going through the New York Bariatric group and Dr. Garber is doing my surgery. He is one of the most experienced in the single incision sleeve surgery.

Hello. I will be getting a single incision sleeve done on 6/28 but in Mexico with Dr. Ponce. I will definitely let you know how it goes and answer any questions you may have when I’m post op.
Wish me luck and a speedy recovery!!

So here's the million dollar question - Who, if anyone, are you telling about your surgery?
My husband and kids know and my parents as well. I have yet to tell my brother but I will. I have one friend I will most likely tell as I know she'll be supportive. I don't plan on telling anyone else. I'm new in my job and aren't close enough to anyone here to feel like I want to share. I'm typically a closed book anyway so my general feeling is it's nobody's damn business even if they do notice I'm losing weight rapidly.
What about you guys?

Hey all! Sooooo I am very excited as I just got my surgery date-August 13t!!! I would love to connect with a surgery date buddy out there. The last few weeks have been a whirlwind. While I have wanted to surgery for years, I finally started heavily researching it, and found a surgeon. Made an appointment one week, the next week went in for all the pre-op work, and now I have my surgery date!

It was important for me to get a single incision gastric sleeve surgery. One of the only ones I could find was Dr. Garber in New York. I am flying in from KY and self paying for the surgery. So that's a big monetary commitment but honestly, I know this is the right decision for me.

Just wondering if anyone else has had the single incision surgery? What was your experience like?
