Single incision vsg with Dr. Carlos Diaz? Anyone?



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled for September 10th in Tijuana with Dr. Valenzuela/Dr. Cabrera. I'm actually now thinking about switching to Dr. Carlos Diaz because of the single incision surgery that he performs. The idea of a single incision is VERY appealing to me for the quicker recovery time as well as the cosmetic aspect. Anyone here thinking about using Dr. Diaz? I've been looking for reviews but can't seem to find much about it.

If I may ask, how old are you? I'm an older woman so I don't have the urge to wear a bikini in public. If you are in the bikini appropriate age group, I would definitely try for the one incision

I'm soon to be 31 :). I'm just a little nervous about it since they've only been doing it since march. But Dr.diaz has been using robotics for years apparently. Wish there were more reviews out there about it...

I am a patient of Dr. Diaz and am getting this procedure done in Aug. I would be happy to tell you more about it if you want to Facebook me at tmaygraves@gmail.com.

I just had the single incision w dr Garcia in May ... The scar is hardly noticeable! When I show people my photo of my stomach and the little scar I have from surgery, they are amazed !

Can I suggest that you speak with a surgeon directly that still does the 5 slit procedure and get his views. I could tell you what my doc... Dr kelly in TJ said but I would rather you hear it from him directly. If your interested I can have him call you. He does it the "what they call regular way" but with out the stupid drain. Lots to know about when it comes to staples, glue, stitching etc. Let me know by pm... but good luck!!

Dr. Diaz has done 78 and has had one leak issue. My BMI is 39, so I think I would qualify. It just freaks me out that the procedure is so new. It's nerve wracking enough going to Mexico for surgery in the first place :S.

Don worry they're already experts at the surgery - this is only slightly different way of doing it. Imagine the first people who tried it the laparoscopic way compared when they used to just slice your whole abdomen open! Haha they must of been freaking out too! Don't worry it will be fine ... Don't over think it - you are in good hands and have SO MUCH to look forward to after x

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
