Anyone ask their surgeon for this?



Recommended Posts

For photos or video of your procedure. I kind of want both or at least 1. I guess the curious side of me wants to know what my insides look like.

So anyones surgeon here give them video or photos?

I have the video of my knee replacement, so why not?

Go for it. The most he/she can say is, "no".

Let us know, because we're nosy... :)

Oh yikes! Can't imagine anything I'd want to see less, LOL. But if you want it why not ask?

My surgeon gave me several pictures including my brand new tiny stomach. Sorta cool actually, so long as you're OK seeing internal organs, blood vessels and fat deposits. Wasn't gory at all.

Will do. I go in Monday for my final pre-op appointment to get all the surgery info for 7-6.

That's not something I want to see. I was awake during my bone graft / leg fracture repair and the sound was enough to freak me out!

Totally Okay! I've watched several full length VSG procedures on youtube. Guts and blood don't disturb me.

I will when I go to the surgeon on Monday.

Thanks all!!

Nope. Not nosy here at all. ;)

I asked the questions when I had brain surgery and my doctor said no. His insurance doesn't allow it as it opens up the door to too many lawsuits.

For some reason, I would have loved to see my brain. My stomach, organs and fatty tissue? NO THANKS.

@TheOdysseyOfAStoutman​:

Watching the video of my knee replacement was a great tool for the in-laws "having to go home early". (When I had in-laws)

I think I'll ask for a video of my skin surgery. Now, THAT should really be grotesque! :)

      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.
