Not for the queasy, an inside view of my band

[Jaymie72 0]

Ok I was going to post this under another thread but thought some might miss it and it is sort of cool. I had my gall bladder out in July and the Dr took a picture of my gallbladder as well as my band. So, here it is in all its glory. The lower left view is the band the other views are my gallbladder (sorry I couldn't seperate them). Hope you enjoy!!

Maybe I don't know what to look for, but I don't see a picture or a link here.

Wow that is really cool. I wish I had some pictures. My surgeon discovered how to do a laproscopic removal of the gallbladder through the vagina. Do you think that would have been less painful? I have no clue about gallbladder removal. lol

Please let me know if it is too small and I will try to get it bigger. (I suck at computer stuff)

Yes I know that is what made me think of posting this. You gave me the idea, so thanks!!!

That's neat, I saw someone post one shortly after my surgery, so I called my doc to see if I could get pics. They acted like I was a special person for asking hehehehe. No luck for me :thumbdown:

I got my pics today. I made my surgeon feel bad because I started crying when I saw all the fat in the picture. :cursing: I just didn't think it would be so much some how. I'm okay now, it was just a shock. He told me everyone has fat there and was really supportive and concerned. But the good news is, as he mentioned, that's the past and why I got the band and now we think about the future.:thumbdown:

Very cool. I got a DVD with a video of my surgery. Also very cool, but not for the squeamish. :thumbdown:

Thanks for sharing and for the warning (not for the queasy :smile:) which I am not, but I am sure there are others who could not stomach the pics. I thought they were fascinating and only wish I had pics of my own :thumbup:!
