Anyone ask their surgeon for this?

[SalOdyssey 441]

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?

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!

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.

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!
