Another question that has come up a lot is that, what is a scarring or what are the incisions like when you’re having gastric sleeve? So now with the newer trocars the incisions are not that big, that most are be like eight millimeters, which is less than an inch. And what we do here is that we close you plastics. What does that mean? We put the sutures underneath the skin so they dissolve underneath the skin, so therefore you don’t need to have remove anything after in your post-op clinic follow-up. Therefore the scarring is very minimal and of the 5000 cases that I’ve done no one’s ever complained about scarring.
