I previously posted this in the wrong forum. Here it is again, hopefully in the right place!

I just joined Bariatric Pal today! Looking forward to getting to know you all.

I'd like to hear from men who have had single incision sleeve gastrectomy. I hope to have my surgery in January or February, with one of the few practices in the metro New York area that performs SILS.

I'm really concerned that I won't be eligible for SILS. The vast majority of patients who have this surgery are women, and apparently the single incision approach is more difficult to perform on men. I tend to get hypertrophic, hyperpigmented scars, so I want as few new holes as possible!

I'd appreciate hearing from guys who can tell me what the evaluation process was like. I'd also like to hear from men who were not cleared for SILS, so I can understand what I might be up against.

Thanks much!

Simon

  Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed. I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

  Two months out from hiatal hernia repair. Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end. That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

    As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
