I actually requested the information last night about the spider VSG and Alma said the same thing.

@Kristina - yeah the said they won't do it on revisions.

I felt pretty silly filling out the 6 page medical history. Any health problems? huh besides being fat...No. Any medications. No. I thought I'm going to submit this and they are going to think I'm off. Made me feel a little bit off for considering it.

One of my biggest habits is snacking - grazing through the day not on bad stuff just a handful of nuts here an apple there plus B/L/D - ugh!

Feel very uncertain after the questionaire :(

Hi, I was just sleeved one week ago today by Dr. Garcia. I have 5 incisions. One for the camera, one for the light, one for pumping in the CO2 and O2, one for the drain, and one for the tool. They are small and will go away if treated properly with vitamin E etc. I know people who have had this done and the incisions are no longer visible. I can imagine only one incision.

I had the one incision through my belly button. He said there would be a quarter inch scar above my belly button, but so far it seems to be all in my belly button. I can't see where there will be any visible scar.

I guess this single incision is kind of new? Or done less because you have to fit certain requirements? When I was in the hospital everyone was coming in to check out my single incision.

It's just further technology I guess! They used to slice your whole abdomen open - I'm sure people thought it was crazy when they starte doing it laparoscopicly ... If it means less pain and heals quicker that's great for my big journey home!
