I'm sure this has been mentioned around here before, but I haven't come across it...

This is a webcast from last summer, but I recently came across it and found it pretty cool to see. I think it would be good for anyone who's curious to see what exactly they do in there, and how everything looks. Go HERE and go down the list until you see "Lapband surgery" and go to it. Click on "view live webcast".

You'll need the RealMediaPlayer. If you don't have it there's a link to get it on the left margin of the page I linked to above.

Enjoy!

Wow, this is awesome! I'm watching with great interest.

Ok finished watching it. It's about an hour long and everyone who is interested in the band should watch it. They present a lot of information about the band, the pre and post op diets, they show how fills are done, and you get to watch the surgery via laproscopic cameras. Very cool. The video is about an hour long.

Tricia, ya wimp. *laughs*

I liked the part where they were stuffing their fingers and hands into the holes. Very cool. *grins*

If I didn't have such a weak stomach, I would watch it.

It's actually surprisingly not gross... I was a little leary at first though. The worst thing, I though was when they were putting in the port. They don't show them making the incisions for the laparoscopic ports, or closing them up. C'mon... you know you wanna watch it! I was amazed that the liver actually looks like liver! lol

I can't even stomach watching someone have liposuction performed. I'm getting queasy just thinking about it!!

Yeaaaaah... watching (or trying to) liposuction makes me sick too. ugg...yuck!

Ok, ok... I won't make you watch the lapband surgery! But it is cool!

I was thinking about getting lipo on my midriff, but I'm afraid they'd suck my port out.
