Spider Surgery

I jus****ched the sleeve done as what is called Spider Surgery on U-Tube. It was
unbelievable! There was only one incision done at the belly button. A tool was placed in thru
that dime size incision that opened up after insertion. This tool put everything in the right place
to perform the sleeve. The surgeon was in and out in no time. The patient went on
television with the surgeon two days after the surgery and felt wonderful. Has anyone
else seen this? I was amazed and want to question my surgeon about this possible
surgical method.

Hi: Barara Yes I saw it on Dr. Oz show, very interesting. Not to many hospitals have this equipment yet, because of the high cost and not having enough surgeon trained to use the spider.
I asked my surgeon about the spider, but he informed me, that he is a hands-on type of surgeon, no spider for him.
It's still to new for me, I'll wait and see how it works out in the future.
Happy journey.

I had the spider sleeve!! It is way cool, my scar is already fading (I have a pic in my profile of a few weeks after surgery and the scar) I was only given IV forms of tylenol and ibuprofen- no narcs and was up walking the halls and feeling pretty good- though I did have some nausea. I felt it was very cool I was able to have the spider =)
