Question:
Is there a video of Open RNY surgery I can watch before my surgery?

I am very interested in knowing EXACTLY what will be going on while I am having s urgery. I am interested in a video of Open RNY Bypass, similar to the ones seen on the television show "The Operation" which shoes actual surgical procedures from start to finish. I have seen the Carnie Wilson operaton and that is not what I am looking for.    — Sandra A. (posted on May 14, 2000)

Hi, If you go into the web site adoctoinyourhouse.com you can watch Carnie Wilson surgery. Or you can go to the library and they might have something. Good luck.

This isn't an answer to your question. I just watched the video from The Obesity Treatment Center and I was REALLY impressed! If you want to know exactly what's going to happen - watch this video. I can hardly wait for my son to come home so he can watch it with me. He's a premed student and is very interested in the surgery I'm going to be having in (gulp) 19 days!
