I usually hang out over on the complications forum, but we just got this cool "mini-Emmi" education program that Inamed set up for us. Check it out and let me know what you think:

It's kind of a watered-down version of the full Emmi, for people just looking into the band.

Dr. C,

My surgeon provides the full version of this for his patients. I think it is great! We were given a "secret password" to access it after our Initial visits. I also liked how the full version gives the patient an opportunity to write down questions that come up while viewing. My thanks to you and all surgeons that provide information and support.

Hi Dr.c

That Is Very Well Done. Thank You.

am i the only one who has no idea what a mini-emmi is?

I just love this Dr. Curry and thanks very much for offering. I will see you this Tuesday for another fill. Hope your having a great weekend.

It's just the trademarked name for this educational video.

I would think PreOps would find it helpful. I think it's good that it explains that it's not a "Quick Fix." It also says that "LapBand surgery significantly changes your life."

I think it's PERFECT for folks wondering "what is the lapband." Very simple and short.

Thanks for sharing. Shawn
