Question:
Where can I find pictures of what this will look like?

I have been looking around this site and others to find some pictures of what a 'pouch' is and what the surgeons actually do to the stomach and such. Has anyone seen anything like this? I saw a very brief snippett while watching a tv program and think I know what happens, but would like to show my husband and kids what exactly I am talking about when I say 'pouch'. I would love it if someone could direct me to an website that has some pictures of stomach/pouch before and after. Not really looking for scar pics or body before/after pics but actual pouch or stomach (even annimated or drawn is fine) Thanks!    — A. S. (posted on January 14, 2002)

Try going to this site. http://www.gr-ds.com/Compare_Procedures2.htm I don't know if that's what your looking for or not. Once your in there click around to view the rest of the site. If you want a site where you can watch the surgery just email me and I will find it for you.

If you check </p> http://www.adoctorinyourhouse.com/morbid_obesity/weight_loss_surgery/index.html </p> There is a video there of the WLS RNY Lap Procedure, and it has lots of graphics in it.. This is the sight of the "infamous" Carnie video. There's lots of information on that sight too.

http://www.bannerhealthaz.com/index.html this is a website that has a great slide show of an open rny/silastic ring being performed by dr alan y newhoff of phoenix az. i am a patient of dr newhoff's & it was great being able to see for myself & show my family what the surgery entailed.
