I don't know if YouTubing before surgery is a good idea or not, but that's exactly what I've done. You'd think I would have searched out the weight loss surgery videos when I started this process 9 months ago, but I didn't even look before today. Although I'm a little freaked out after watching the surgery video, I still wish I was having it tomorrow!
As I mentioned in a previous posting, the visits to my blog have been more than I ever could have anticipated. Strangers are finding me by googling, they're coming to my blog via Crazy Texas Mommy, and from social networking pages. My googlers found me because they were looking for lapband blogs, while my friends and family coming from Facebook or MySpace have no idea what the lapband is or does. So, I thought I'd share the surgery video here for those who are interested in learning about the band. Warning: not for those with weak stomachs!
I've also found a really great video blog where a woman, Becca, shares her lapband journey.
Episode 1 - a few weeks after surgery
Episode 2 - 3 months after surgery
Episode 3 - Becca gets a fill
Episode 4 - Non-scale victories
Episode 5 - 60 pounds lost
Episode 6 - Becca experiences a setback
I've had the benefit of witnessing two friends' lapband journeys. They both have done wonderfully....they look amazing, you can tell they feel great, and have had no complications. One had the surgery 5 months ago and has lost 75 pounds. These ladies have been very supportive of my journey, and I'm inspired by them everyday.
