Its a taping of an actual surgery they show the insides, the whole shbang. Is it weird that it makes me that more excited? Lol I have always been the kind of person that if I know what's being done I can handle it better. Like with my son I had him c-section, everyone horror storied me so I was expecting this awful crippiling pain and I was up walking around 4 hours post op. But with my gallbladder being taken out no one really preped me on what it would feel like and I was worse than having a kid! What should have been a out-paitent surgery took me three days to be able to handle going home. Just thought I would share my current thoughts with you all. Let me know how you preped yourself mentaly for surgery. Or if you thought it would be cake.

I have had my share of surgeries and my sister had RNY a year prior to mine so she gave me all the details. I was still scared but way ready for it :)

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
