I did and just wondered if anyone else has... I am pre op.

I heard its off putting so didn't. Embrace general anaesthetic... It you don't witness it, it didn't happen! Or at least it doesn't matter that it did.

I didn't think it was that bad, but everyone's different. There wasn't any blood so I guess that may have made it tolerable for me... But it didn't change my mind, thank goodness!

I've been trying not to watch cause I thought it would be rough. I ended up biting the bullet and watching it a few days ago and was pleasantly surprised at how not-bad it seemed. Almost comforting to know what exactly is happening in there. I didn't expect that.

Getlownurse, I believe you will be in TJ same time as me, my surgery is June 17, is yours the 18th at Mi doctor??

Mines the 19 and I'm flying in same day. Im looking forward to seeing you there! I'm LeAnn

Great, I'm Aimee, I'll be looking for you:)

You bet. I watched a number of them (the best is Shawnee Mission KS -- Two MDs talk through the entire thing in real time)

All in all appears to be a straightforward procedure!

I have watched several and nothing I saw made me uncomfortable. I find watching plastic surgery is more disturbing than the sleeve

I did. I wanted to know what they were going to be doing in there lol

It was not a movie that I would want to see in 3D for sure but I did watch it.

If you can get past obsessing about the fact that someone has a scissors and staple gun working over an internal organ you will be fine.

Sounds like a B movie plot: Psycho Office Manager.
