DaVinci robotic surgery



Recommended Posts

Has anyone had surgery using the DaVinci - either sleeve or RNY? Curious about any positive or negative outcomes of the technique.

My sleeve was done with this robot. All positive from me. Amazing tech! Incisions are very small and healing really well, no complications, and the surgery itself was very quick. I've heard that you should ask your surgeon how many procedures he/she has done with the robot to make sure that they are well experienced using it.

I had surgery with the DaVinci, and can compare it to the healing process of having an incision from a c-section many years ago. Hands down the robotic method was better for recovery, managing the incision site(s), and the pain. I do agree that for any surgery technique, you want to make sure that your doctor is experienced in the procedure.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
