I think part of the pre-op requirements should include watching the actual surgery. I honestly believe some folks may not have a clue what was actually done to their insides. I see so many posts from early post-ops saying they are having trouble sticking to their "post-op diet" and have "cheated"............I don't think these folks understand it's not a diet it's a prescription! I don't think they understand that they are risking their lives by eating solid foods too soon....I get the feeling that they think when they eat something that's not on their plan they just think it will slow down their weight loss...........not that it may kill them!!!...........okay I just had to get that off my chest! End of rant!

Agreed!! I definitely watched surgeries on youtube.

Lol. I never would have done it - I love my sleeve and I treat it like gold. Super compliant patient who did a ton of research right here.

But I am completely squwicked out by anything remotely related to blood and guts. Even if they are relatively clean looking procedures.

There is a reason that in a family where three of my siblings are nurses - I chose to teach pre k.
