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!
