Single Incision Surgeon in Michigan?



Recommended Posts

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
