Single Incision Vsg

Was anyone offered the "less" procedure? I had my sleeve done entirely thru my belly button. Absolute no scars, staples or drainage bags. My surgeon is a genius. He said not that many doctors are offering it but if you get the chance, please do it. It sped up my healing process dramatically and I was off pain meds by end of day two. Google Dr. Rami Lutfi on YouTube and check around to see the procedure. I thought it was a bit more common but I keep reading about all the concerns of scarring. Anyone else have it this way?

    So happy you only have one incision site. I didn't know about this until after I had my procedure. But I love my sleeve and I love my skinniness.

    Do wonders never cease. I've only been sleeved for the past 3 months and in that time have already seen 2 or 3 varying ways for these to be done! Medicine sure advances quickly! Thanks for sharing!

Usually it is six weeks before you get clearance to do anything other than walking. You should still be able to contact your DR in Mexico....my friend did.
