daVinci robotic surgery anyone?



Recommended Posts

Hurray, so glad to get news from you and that you are doing well.

I am going to get a surgery date today. I am expecting late October but we'll see. You will be about one month ahead of me and we both are 5' 5" and have a goal weight of 150. Team NOVA is well on it's way!

Much better to have it done and be on the road to recovery even without the daVinci I will not be disappointed if it ends up that they cannot use the davinci as long as it gets done.

I had bypass with Moazzez and the robot and everything went just fine.

How are you doing 4mickeymoose?

33 lbs is impressive. How is your recovery going? Any advice?

My bypass is October 28th and there are 3 other girls I follow with October dates. We are all trying to ready ourselves for the big moment.

Hurray for you DaronB!

My surgery in on October 28th. I hope to be home by the 31st. I do think it is wonderful to have it on Halloween because you can Celebrate your new beginning every year.

Good luck to you too,

Mine was in July '14 and was DaVinvci robotic, 6 little 1" incisions (scars). Recovery is do much easier with robotic surgery ????

I just had da Vinci robotic for the sleeve on Monday, and had a da Vinci robotic for a total hysterectomy. I think the positives override negatives by quite a ways! Good luck.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
