These are great videos, they helped me make the decision to go with Dr. Garcia.

Thanks for posting them Liz!

Great videos. Take note on the first video at around the 2:12 mark. That thing at the top is the liver. Shrinking this is the main purpose of the pre-op diet. If you are on your pre-op diet, take note of this. What size liver do you want your surgeon to be working with? How much do you want to cheat on your pre-op diet?

Very happy to see these!

Has anybody ever noticed in these surgeries that there are always some people with their surgical masks just over their mouths and not over their noses, too? This is not the only video I've seen this in.

There are just as many germs coming out of their noses as their mouths. Anybody have an answer?

I saw a documentary about surgery and the surgeon said the mask was for their protection, not ours. Blood spray etc. is more likely to enter their mouth than nose.
