Here is a Video of the actual gastric band operation, for anyone who want to see what happens. I found it quite reassuring - straightfoward and quick. It gave me confidence.

I have just watched one for a sleeve and hiaitus hernia combined op - interesting lol
Funny isn't it - none of these put me off, but an endoscopy does - I will be fighting my demons with that one if i have to have one.

I don't know why I expect to be handled with kid gloves lol

I used to love watching operations and goorey bloody things. But since I had my c-section 3 years ago, it makes me go weak at the knees & I can't watch anything like that anymore.

Its not that bad - not gorey at all. It seemed very straightforward to me and very quick. After all it is major surgery lol
