Yes, my surgeon does videos of his surgeries and post on his web site. Very interesting. My surgery is on the 11th. Well, best wishes for you. I'm sure you feel the same as me anxious and excited!

Have a blessed one!

I've watched a couple of them and it amazed me that they can tell what they are looking at and cutting out!  I definitely wouldn't want to be some new surgeon's guinea pig.

I watched a bunch pre-op  Imma sicko  I guess...I like to know what to expect even tho we never do ,-)
I can't believe how tuff it is for them surgeons to get up in that gastro-esopho area...where MAJORITY of LEAKS occur....makes sooo much sense to me!

Got quite a few REALLY GOOD VSG SURGICAL videos ++xrays, articles, studies on my

The day of my surgery my dr was talking about the procedure and I said I watched it on you tube . Him and the nurses cracked up. I asked to see the films of my sleeve after the surgery that was really cool ! I would ask to see that once ur up and walking around it was a great way for me to see how much my life changed

WOW...all I can say as I watched this video is WOW!  It is one of thee most detailed surgical VSG videos, dissection:prep  I have ever seen..and Ive seen MANY...thank you so much for sharing it with us!

I don't think this is a good video for a novice, or first VSG surgical video to view tho.  Needs to be one of thee last surgical videos a VSGr sees...lmao!!  Along the lines of ADVANCED VSG videos lol!

even tho it answers VITAL questions and is MAKING ME HAVE TO AMEND both my BOUGIES in VSG blog and my LEAKS and STRICTURES blog...dang it ;-)
n not so much corrective/errors on those blogs...as ADDED information that may be helpful to others that this video so clearly explains...
 

Added to Favorite of Favorites!  Thanks again R!  see ya on the losers bench real soon.

I watched a different video, 53 minutes in length, but not until AFTER my surgery. :-)
