I wanted to make sure that everyone here was aware of this link http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3190472028990485080&q=lap+band&hl=en to view the lap-band procedure from the surgeons point of view. It's graphic, but it really shows you how minimally invasive this procedure is. Weak stomach's should pass it up, but those who can take it might find it extremely interesting.

There is alot of commentary by the guy who is not in the operating room and the video is an hour long, but watching it really helped me understand how the bad works. I cant take credit for discovering it, that goes to ousooner (Neal).

I watched this video before I was banded. It helped me to understand what the liquid diet was for. I was surprised at the lack of bleeding!

Thanks, glad it was usefull!

Ive seen this before, just after banding, I wish I saw it before surgery because it so clearly explained a lot of things for me. Thanks for bringing it back!

No problem. I personally think it should be a sticky because it is so relevent to anyone considering this procedure!

WoW that was cool...
