Did anyone watch the video of the VSG surgery before surgery?

I did and just wondered if anyone else has... I am pre op.

I heard its off putting so didn't. Embrace general anaesthetic... It you don't witness it, it didn't happen! Or at least it doesn't matter that it did.

I didn't think it was that bad, but everyone's different. There wasn't any blood so I guess that may have made it tolerable for me... But it didn't change my mind, thank goodness!

I've been trying not to watch cause I thought it would be rough. I ended up biting the bullet and watching it a few days ago and was pleasantly surprised at how not-bad it seemed. Almost comforting to know what exactly is happening in there. I didn't expect that.

You bet. I watched a number of them (the best is Shawnee Mission KS -- Two MDs talk through the entire thing in real time)

All in all appears to be a straightforward procedure!

I have watched several and nothing I saw made me uncomfortable. I find watching plastic surgery is more disturbing than the sleeve

I did. I wanted to know what they were going to be doing in there lol

It was not a movie that I would want to see in 3D for sure but I did watch it.

If you can get past obsessing about the fact that someone has a scissors and staple gun working over an internal organ you will be fine.

Sounds like a B movie plot: Psycho Office Manager.
