Has anyone had the Spider Surgery? I'm having trouble lining up my insurance with a facility that has the tool that is a Bariatric Center of Excellencecertification. Is it worth the wait ?

It is the type of surgical instrument used. You only have one incision in the belly button, instead of 4 or 5.

Try searching the forum for SILS. I think I have hears it referred to as either that acronym or "single incision laparoscopic surgery".

I just found out that they are planning on doing my surgery as a spider! I'm super excited.

I had SILS. It really depends if you want to have 4 or 5 small incisions or one giant one. Other than that I don't think there's really any difference.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
