I will be having RNY surgery on the 16th of this month and I was just curious to see how many other folks were or will be operated on with the daVinci robotics procedure. Please share

I am scheduled for a robatic RNY Oct 7th.

I had lap and with a daVinci 7 years ago and am scheduled for a lap band removal revision to RNY gastric bypass on the 17th. It was a great process. It really enables the surgeon to see around things that would be impossible to the eye alone. Healing is faster also. I hope this helps!! Where are you having it done?

I am in Northern VA and Dr Moazzez is doing my surgery.

My Dr used Da Vinci...all went great!

When and where did you have your surgery?

We will do well! Are you excited/nervous?

When and where did you have your surgery?

I had mine on Aug 12th in Federal Way, WA. I had RNY as well as my gallbladder removed. I couldn't be more happy with my recovery time.

I was! It was perfect. I had the sleeve and had zero complications or issues! You'll be perfectly fine!

@@Fab@Forty, I'm in North Carolina and will be having surgery on October 31. My surgeon is doing the DaVinci Robotic Surgery. His website has a full write up about it and they explained it to me in detail. Basically, the benefits of robotic surgery is better recovery time, less pain post op, less invasive. I'm excited about it. The doctor is still in control, but the use of the machine gives him better range of movement and a better view, as he can see the surgical area in 3D through the system.

I am having the robotic RNY on Oct 14, I had a thread on it a couple weeks back with several comments from folks who had it done, you might check that out for more responses. One woman had complications, her staples would not stay in, and he had to suture which took many hours. everyone else had good experience, with no or minimal complications.

Hi Fab@ Forty,

Keep us posted on your journey, we are thinking of you.

Best of luck tomorrow. I will be sending good vibes towards Fair Oaks.

Thanks so much Beni!

Hello all - no daVinci for me today. I will have a regular laparoscopic procedure today.

That's okay!

You'll be out that much faster. It's takes about 30 minutes longer to do it with Robotics.

Fab@@forty hope you are doing well why not the daVinci?

Hi Joy59 - the daVinci team that my MD would normally use were not available. So, he just did the regular laparoscopic procedure.

I will be going home today and I feel pretty good. Of course I am still sore, but it's bearable.

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!
