    Default Incisionless Sleeve

    Does anyone know if this is offered in Mexico? I know they are doing the surgery here in the states. I also was curious to know how those who have had laproscopic surgery with the sleeve, how their scars healed. Or if they have photos.

    Hi Sweetie! My surgeon did my sleeve with one incision....A little less than inch long. I had my surgery on the 23rd and its already healed. Its higher up on my stomach so even if I was to show off my tummy at some point...there'd be no scar )
    Cheers,
    Linds

    Thanks you all that was great information for me. I am going to be self-pay and thanks for the photo I was wondering what that particular doctors work was like since I am scheduled for him in December but I hopefully will be going mid to late October.

    I don't know why but three of my five scars are purple...but, I'm really light skinned - especially my tummy. The other two are barely visible.
