Single Incision Surgeon in Michigan?

I haven't necessarily talked to my surgeon yet about doing a single incision.....not sure if he does. But has anyone got a single incision VSG in Michigan? What surgeon did you use?

Just now saw this post...I don't know of any single incision VSG surgeons in MI. I saw that episode of the Doctors where they did it and showed how it was done. it seems fairly new. Everything seems to trickle from the west coast over to the Midwest and then the east coast...so you never know!! Too late for me...lol.

The Doctors "SPIDER" VSG is done by Dr. B Quebbemann in Newport Beach, CA. You can go to the TransEnerix web site www.transenterix.com (maker of the spider) and inquire about surgeons in your area. But try to find an experienced surgeon with spider.

Locate a surgeon offering SPIDER Surgery in your area, please email info@transenterix.com

Too many surgeons are telling their patients they are the first or second - as I mentioned in another post to a person making this claim - when what surgeons really mean is they are the first or second patient that they have done spider VSG surgery on.

Good luck in your search! You are going to love your sleeve, via spider or not.
