Anyone had robotic bariatric surgery?

My surgeon uses a robot to perform the surgery. It is totally manipulated by the surgeon but is supposed to be more precise and recovery is faster.

Yes, had robotic laparoscopic RNY 5 years ago. No pain, all good.

Yes, mine was robotic 3 yrs ago. I think probably most are these days. A lot of laparoscopic and gynecological surgeries are "robotic assisted."

I'm having robotic for my sleeve in March and I'm super excited. My son has undergone robotic procedures for other things and the recovery time/pain level vs. even regular laparoscopic is unreal.

I just had my sleeve surgery on This past Monday. It was done robotically, He says most precise. I have luckily not much pain since leaving hospital yesterday. Key is get off the chair or bed and walk.
