Has anyone had the Single Incision technique done in Mexico?

I am scheduled for December, but just learned about this new technique that allows for less scarring on the abdomen. I saw there is this "Spider" laparoscopic tool that makes it possible and safe to perform. There is a Dr. Yu in the U.S. Who apparently has done a great number with great results. Looking for a good surgeon in Mexico if anyone can share.

. Hi Krystal0528 - I had mine on the 12th by Dr Scarborough! Everyone at Victory was so so nice! I loved my nurses and cna's! I'm in Richmond. How are you healing??

I'm actually already healed up, I was doing super about 6 weeks out. I had mine done on 5/28/14 so I'm 10 weeks out and so far I've lost 51 lbs since the day of surgery. I feel much better! I didn't think it was going to happen this fast, but no complaints ;)

How are you doing so far? Also I had my surgery done at park plaza, and I loved it there. Everyone was do nice

Hi Krystal,It's so exciting to hear about your amazing results! My surgery is scheduled for December in Tijuana with Dr. Lopez, who also does the single incision technique. I am waiting until December, as it's a better time for my business. I'm a self pay because my BMI is only 30, but I have struggled for years with an eating disorder. I'm hoping that after this procedure, I can finally have a healthy relationship with food. Have you experienced a normalizing of hunger and cravings with this procedure? I am looking forward to that, as much as the weight loss. I'm looking forward to being at one clothing size and staying there instead of being on this wild trajectory up and down that has gone on for years. Anything you can share in that regard would be so appreciated!

Hi glad to hear your surgery went well!!!

I'm actually still here. I had to stay in town for at least the post surgery visit. I'm actually from MI but wanted to go to someone who does Single incision since it's more complicated for docs to perform.

I'm staying by the Galleria at Hotel Derek
