That link takes you to where they show almost the whole hour long procedure. I loved watching it.

My surgery was 7/9 but I LOVED seeing this. It's better than any drawing I was shown. I'll watch the longer one too when I get time. Thanks so much for sharing!!

I think I watched this one the week before my surgery. I found it really interesting and helpful. I'm going to watch the hour long one tomorrow. Thanx for the link.

I had no idea just how tiny my stomach was afterwards. The width of a pen? That's mental. But very helpful. Now I'm much less inclined to cheat than I might have been before.

This video really brings it home on how important it is to have a skilled surgeon. Wow they are so close to the spleen,diaphragm and actually move the liver to get to the top of your stomache. Amazing. Just watched it again.

I had no idea as to just how small my sleeve is!! Certainly drives home the point of weighing everything before I eat!! Thanks

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
