Single Incision Lapband

My surgeon performs a single incision lapband. Still waiting on the consult. Just curious if anyone here got the single incision. Does it really make a huge difference?

My doctor does it too. But I actually have 4 incisions... Not sure why haha. From what he explained though, the single incision is actually two incisions. One for all the tools and the placement for the band and 1 for the port.

Really???? The video on the website demonstrates all through a belly button hole. Are your incision noticeable?

Single incision here. Was great

I had it done but its never one incision. I have 3 small ones! One in the belly button, one towards the left of the belly button before my side, and the 3rd one is below my bra in the middle. Can't even tell :)

SIL here too. One at belly button and tiny one right below bra line..

My friend had it done she only has one incision.

I'm 2 months(a little over) out and my incisions are tiny. Apparently I was concerned about it because the first thing when I woke up from surgery was "how many incisions do I have??" I asked my doctor before hand how many I would have and he said he wouldn't know until he was in there. I guess I wasn't a candidate for the single incision... Not sure why... Bc I have four. Three are teeny tiny... About 1/4 of an inch long and my port incision is about an inch or so. The port one is super noticeable.... But I've had issues(infection, a second surgery) so I'm not sure what others' port incisions look like.

That's cool yours will be all through your belly button with no scar. :-)

Well we shall see. On the phone I was told that he does it but he doesn't really like to do it in one incision. I am sure he will tell me at the consult. I bet it will all depend on the day of surgery etc., But it would be nice to just have one incision in the belly button. At this point though I just want to be skinny :P
