That link takes you to where they show almost the whole hour long procedure. I loved watching it.

My surgery was 7/9 but I LOVED seeing this. It's better than any drawing I was shown. I'll watch the longer one too when I get time. Thanks so much for sharing!!

I think I watched this one the week before my surgery. I found it really interesting and helpful. I'm going to watch the hour long one tomorrow. Thanx for the link.

I had no idea just how tiny my stomach was afterwards. The width of a pen? That's mental. But very helpful. Now I'm much less inclined to cheat than I might have been before.

This video really brings it home on how important it is to have a skilled surgeon. Wow they are so close to the spleen,diaphragm and actually move the liver to get to the top of your stomache. Amazing. Just watched it again.

I had no idea as to just how small my sleeve is!! Certainly drives home the point of weighing everything before I eat!! Thanks

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
