Here is a link to an explanation and video of an actual lap-band surgery; it's just over an hour long start to finish. Please be WARNED - THIS IS GRAPHIC!

Good stuff!

I wanna be a surgeon so bad.....

What an awesome video...now I know why my port site hurts! Thanks for sharing!

I have been looking for a live operation of the lapband on the web. Thank you so much for posting this.

That explains the pain! Great info - thanks!

Karen, thank you for posting this website. It was very helpful. Great Information.

That was great. The full story.

Oh yes, the lap band video. I watched this the night before my surgery, while eating a bucket of KFC. Fried chicken will never quite look the same to me.

EEEEEEEWWWW!

Words cannot express how thankful I am that I didn't see this before surgery. Ignorance was bliss.

thanks for sharing!!!

I watched the video on the Brigham and Young before I had my surgery...it was great!

WOW I never saw this and I'm kinda glad. It is wonderful!!!! Thank You

Everyone is certainly welcome; but the thanks needs to go to my awesome husband who is being incredibly supportive of my persuit of lap band surgery

Love you JJ!

Thank you Mr. Bubble Butt I mean Mr. McGregor.

A similar but shorter video was shown at the informational meeting I went to in Sioux Falls...I'd feel better if I hadn't seen it. I agree with Super Daddy...ignorance is better in this case!!

I'm glad I saw it - It makes me feel better about the fact that I can eat alot b/c I haven't been filled yet. When you see the band w/ no fill it doesn't look like it would restrict much.
