There are loads of them on I watched a few and I would warn people who are squemish not to look at them....they dont however show the team of horses they bring into the surgery to stomp all over you when they are done sewing you up....:d'oh: Im sure thats what they did to me and why im so bruised

port on you tube

hiya
do you know if there is a video on you tube that actually shows how they do the port part of the surgery? I have looked everywhere and cant find that part, only the part showing where and how the band is put in? I have the band fitted, and I cant stand the port being touched by anyone, which makes it interesting when I go for an adjustment. It makes me feel really weird inside. lol :copon:

Here you go...
YouTube - laparoscopic gastric banding

Dont have a clue what it says as its in russian or turkish or somthing and quite why they are playing "morning has broken" as the music track im not sure

I will also add that at the start of this video clip it shows a Band being filled before it been insrted so you can see how it works and that in itself is interesting

This is a brilliant and very well produced video
