I went on Dr C's link to an itube presentation he posted on lapband fills...in itube right next to his video under 'related' was this...an actual real live video of the lapband surgery being done. Beware it is very graphic and not for the weak stomach! But if you are more than a little curious have a look!

After watching it all I can say is Oh my Gawd! they did that to me...no wonder I was sore post surgery... but hey the wonders of medical science. Its that little thing that has literally saved my life.
