OMG!  No I had not until I read this post and thought "Oh, maybe I should go check this out!"

Maybe I would have been better off not to watch!  lol  Then I decided to watch one about a lapband since I had that and that wasn't so pretty either!

I watched several of them lol before surgery. It helped me than I watched the gallbladder one before I had surgery and than I am watching my elbow one now. I will watch the  tummy tuck one before I get that to.
My surgeon gave me the tool. Now it is up to me to use it right.

Nope.  I have enough images in my head that I'd like to delete without adding more.    I felt fully informed without seeing it.  Frankly, didn't want to see the nitty gritty details.

I did, I watched diferent ones, everyday, when I found one person that I liked, I would go back and watch their videos from the beginning, it was great to see their progress.

I liked finding videos of people that had been at least 6 months out.  I wish I remembered this one girls name, I am sorry I can't remember her name, but I remember her, because she showed all the different containers she bought before the surgery.

I like to plan ahead, so i enjoyed watching her videos.  They are a great thing to watch, it is always IMPORTANT to do research especially on something like this.

 I watched. It made me feel more at ease when I had my surgery. But it is a personal choice, it's not for everyone.

I didn'****ch any personal testimonials but I watched a lot of the actual surgery. I think that's why I really didn't have many questions going in. I pretty much knew what they were going to do to me. It's not for everyone, tho.
