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

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
