Surgeons complete first single-incision LAP-BAND® surgery in Texas...
I was banded one week ago, and I have only two incisions - one, about two inches, over my port, and one tiny one, perhaps 2/3 of an inch, up high, near the bottom of my sternum. Nice job, doc!
banded 9/3/08 by Dr. Kirshenbaum www.lapbandrockies.com 10/2/08 1.6cc fill 10/16/08 2.5cc fill 11/6/08 1.4 cc fill, now 5.5 cc total & in the green zone!
It looks like a 2 and then an S. Has to be a typo. There's no way they would keep someone under anesthesia for 25 hrs to do a procedure that normally takes less than an hour! If that's the case, I'll take my 5 small incisions anyday!
