A must see video



Recommended Posts

I read a thread and someone suggested viewing a 5 part video showing the lap band procedure. I highly recommed it, it is very imformative and I personally got a lot out of it. I had attended a seminar that showed stills, this shows it all. Of course everyone's Doctor has their own procedure, put a lot of my questions were answered.

I know a few of you may have already seen this, but for me it was new.

If you go to Youtube and key in " Live Lap Band surgery - Kansas City ", there are 5 parts and it takes about an hour to watch. It is a quality video of a complete lap band surgery. The Doctor explains everthing while he is working.

Let me know what you think.

Caution - No blood and guts, but it does show an actual surgery.

Take care everyone - :thumbup:

I LOVED that video. The more I can learn about this, the less scary it is to me.

Good luck to all Septembers!!!

I know you said that it doesn't have any blood and guts...but I'm too sweemish!! Just the thought of the knife on the skin is too much for me. I was never able to watch a c-section delivery because it was just too much for me...and I've had 3 c-sections!! I'm not scared of the surgery just looking at it.

Thats okay, we all have our "quirks".

Someone was telling me about a work related accident, just words, and I amost passed out. Blood I can do, but words. I must be a sickie, I love watching Discovery Health.

What is up with that?

      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.
