Yes! That is what I had in October 2014. It's great because there is no scar or i should say a very small scar....in the belly button.

Do you have pic of scar if you don't mind or Instagram

No pics of the scar....I believe my recovery was the same as everyone else....one night in the hospital....every day I felt better & better...it was tough in the beginning but doable....best of luck to you!

@@soonsleeved after we chatted the other day I called our clinic to inquire about "upgrading" my surgery to the single incision and my case worker said that you would still have a 2nd incision for the drain. And even then the single incision is all up to the doctor discretion if they can do the surgery successfully with one incision. My case worker actually talked me OUT of going with single incision and the scars are smaller than your pinky nail.... with vitamin E oil, scaring wont appear nearly as much. Price difference (for me) wasn't worth it for 3 less scars 1/2" in length.

I couldn't imagine having 85% of my stomach pulled out through my belly button ....
