Very cool! I'm a bit of a science geek, so this stuff is fascinating... I'll definitely be asking for pics if they offer them.

How are you feeling, has the nausea gotten any better?

Good news they left your sense of humor in!   I hope you are feeling better, especially since the babies are at home.

Cool pics! I'll ask my surgeon if i can get some when I have mine.
I have watched about 10 full surgeries on youtube - so I think its fascinating.
I really like the harmonic scalpel and the stapler - you should all check it out live on YT.

The harmonic scalpel is what they use to seperate your actual stomach from the lining before the Bougie goes down and they cut/staple it...The scalpel cuts through the tissue by vibrating in the range of 20,000 Hz. The vibration cuts through the tissue and seals it using protein denaturization, rather than heat.
