Single Incision Sleeve



Recommended Posts

So, I just found out that Dr. Garcia does the single incision surgery!! I know that a few people have said the incisions aren't bad anyway, but for someone that doesn't want any this could be an option for you! :) just thought I'd relay the info!

I had a single incision and it was great. Only one incision in my belly button. Ive had my gall bladder out laproscopically so I know the maintenance and healing process of having the multiple incisions and Id choose single incision every time! Instead of being concerned with my insides healing AND my mulitple exterior incisions, I really only had to worry about my insides. My one incision was a piece of cake.

Jesser how did I find out about the Single incision. I am using Dr. Garcia and would like to have a single incision. BUT is this a new procedure for Dr. Garcia. I totally trust him but I don't want to be a guinea pig, if you know what I mean LOL

I'm guessing since mid November. Zenoosh posted late October stating that she had 3 incisions and that they were going to start doing single incisions in a few weeks, so that would have put it around then.

I talked to alma about single incision with Dr Garcia.... He does do it, BMI must be below 35 and its an extra $1000.

Correction... BMI has to be between 30-40. I just rechecked her email response to me.

Yes I remember when she posted that. I have been watching ever since but this was the first thing that I have seen on it. I didn't realize Dr. Garcia had a Facebook page. However, I'm afraid to hit like because my family doesn't know that I am going to Mexico yet. They know I'm having the surgery but not in Mexico.

Same here, I just check every so often. I liked some things today and had to hurry up And unlike them, remembering that everyone can see that. Oops.

And it's not worth the extra 1,000 for me. That's a REALLY nice treadmill or clothing as I lose , you know?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
