liveaboard15 1,293 Posted April 13, 2022 Ive been curious if the hospital records the surgery from the laparoscopic cameras and if i could get a copy... Anyone ever gotten a copy of their footage? I just want to see what it looks like inside me lmao. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I♡BypassedMyPhatAss♡ 804 Posted April 13, 2022 I didn't get video but I got some photos of my lap band surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I♡BypassedMyPhatAss♡ 804 Posted April 13, 2022 If your surgery is at a teaching hospital, they probably video every surgery there. So ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arabesque 7,459 Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) I got photographs too - during & after. He gave me one after my gall surgery too. I thought it was hilarious. Couldn’t decide if it was it evidence or a souvenir?? You may find videos online of surgeries. They often show footage of part of the surgery on My 600lb Life.

GradyCat 3,696 Posted April 13, 2022 I can't imagine they'd share that with you even if they had it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For almost $20K you would think that a video would be included lol 2 I♡BypassedMyPhatAss♡ and Crisscat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sleeve_Me_Alone 656 Posted April 13, 2022 Mine did! I have the surgery footage, my swallow test x-rays, all of it. But, I had surgery in Mx. and they give you a crap ton of documentation to take home so you have it handy. I'm not aware of any US hospital given access to that info to patients. 2 Smanky and liveaboard15 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShoppGirl 5,034 Posted April 13, 2022 I’m not sure if I would want to see all that but I do agree for 20k it should be included. Lol 1 I♡BypassedMyPhatAss♡ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smanky 752 Posted April 14, 2022 I would have LOVED to have video of mine. Very much doubt my surgeon would have let me (he'd have been amused, though), though in hindsight I wish I'd at least asked. I'm definitely the kind of curious weirdo who loves this sort of thing. 🙃 1 liveaboard15 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
