recommended web site???

[Yoda 0]

I'm hoping someone can save me some time. I want to send an informative web-site (preferably with diagrams/illustrations) that explains the actual surgery to my mom (she lives far away). I did send her the live video of the surgery (Brigham's Women's hospital) but her comp doesn't have enough memory to run it. So, now I'm looking for something else that doesn't involve video (or at least involves a verrrry short clip). I thought some of you might have such a sight bookmarked already and save me the google search time. If so, I would appreciate any input.

Thanks!

What about Inamed's site at www.lapband.com

That is the site I sent to my family.

The only one I have found that does not require media player (or I dont think it does) is this one:

Dr. Jawad's website

I'm not sure if you visit this site but I think it helped a few of my family members understand the surgery.. I also have this link to a video on Fox News where there is a Dr. Talking about the surgery (for anyone interested in seeing it) http://www.foxnews.com/video2/launchPage.html?050206/050206_studiob_fat&Trimming%20the%20Fat&Studio_B&New%20study%20finds%20gastric%20banding%20surgery%20could%20work%20for%20moderately%20obese&Health&-1&Trimming%20the%20Fat&Video%20Launch%20Page

The brigham and women's website itself is a good site to find information.
