If I make it tbrough all the hoops and approved then Dr Nguyen at North Georgia will do the procedure robotically.

Anybody else?

I haven't had my surgery yet, but will be sometime during the end of August. I am using Dr. Steinberg in Decatur, GA and he is also using the robot. He said it takes about an hour to complete.

Are you having it done at Emory, I heard they were also doing it there now.

I had this done June 23 by Dr. Christopher Hart at Emory Johns Creek Hospital. I have had zero complications so far. Dr. Hart is extremely conscious during surgery. His staff is amazing! Can't say enough praise for the whole experience.

I had gall bladder done with the robot and it was a great process. I wish I had the option for my RNY. It wasn't bad, but one incision was great!

I had my surgery done like that in May. I ended up with big time complications and was in the hospital three weeks.

Can I ask what the complications were and where did you have procedure? How are you now?

I ended up in surgery for 8 hours because the staples would not stay closed in my new pouch. Finally my dr had to sew it together. After that I ended up with a leak and had to get a stint place to allow the leak to close. Took almost two months but as of now I'm ok. I started out almost 300 pounds and now I'm at 220. Had my surgery may 12th of this year.

My surgery was done roboticly, no complications and essentially no pain (other than gas pains). I didn't even have any bruising so I highly recommend choosing a surgeon that does it that way.

I had my surgery done robotically with DaVinci under Dr Bobby Bhasker Rao in Palm Springs, CA at surgery I was over 500 I am now down to 230 and losing. I also just had my gall bladder removed and 3 hernias repaired by Dr Bobby and DaVinci...I cannot say enough great things about both surgeries and my new life...

I am also a patient of Dr hart!

Mine was Da Vinci robot by Dr. Allison, Viera Florida. No complications.

Wow, I am so glad you are okay. That's kind of a fluke, right? Did your doctor explain why the staples wouldn't hold?

The good news is you don't have a bunch of titanium staples on your pouch.
