Gastric Sleeve Video On Youtube



Recommended Posts

I just watched a video of the sleeve being done. Why did I do that?I'm freaking myself out. They showed a video at my seminar 2 months ago, however it seemed more freeky from my living room. I could see the heart beating and I just kept thinking... What if they nick the heart on mistake while putting in the sutures? Ahhhh I totally regret watching it. Advice....If you haven't already don't watch a live surgery video.

I watched one on youtube too - probably the same one - I saw the heart beating too. Actually it gave me a little comfort watching it - at least I knew what I am getting into. Interesting...

I have watched a couple video's. Didn't phase me. But I love stuff like that, it's one of the reasons I want to go into nursing.

My Dr. has one on youtube and wants us to watch it. It rather grosses me out but I try not to focus on it.

It's normal to get a little freaked out about surgery, but this is routine stuff for these doctors and no big deal to them so take that for what it's worth. As someone who has had this surgery, I can say it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. Relax, it's going to be fine.

I've watch those videos plenty of times. It certainly gives me a higher level of respect for the work these doctors do. The human anatomy is a beautiful thing, however when I see the blood at times... freaks me out. Glad to know I will be knocked out while it's happening. LOL.

Those videos make it look so easy and practically show you step by step. Its so easy a caveman can do it. I know for a fact that I can perform this surgery. I should have been a surgeon. Too bad child support and a greedy ex gf got in the way. I think that I would have been great.

I watched two videos, and while it was a little scary thinking "they will be doing this to me??" it also answered questions I had. To nick the heart they would have to go through the diaphragm past the lungs and to the left. I hope my surgeon knows when he reachs the diaphragm to stop. LoL!! Pre op nerves can get people thinking worst case scenarios. Just imagine when you go in for surgery the doc is in the back practicing on a game of operation. LoL!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
