Graphic Pictures of My Band

Spydr · 03-14-2007, 05:30 PM

I just went through my photo album and found a picture of my band being put in place. It's graphic to some as it is a picture of my insides but I found it pretty interesting. There is a picture os my liver on the top right and you can see the band being placed on my stomach in the other shots.

Yes all that yellow stuff is fat. Puts a different spin on junk food for me! Anyway, just wanted to help inform and enlighten.

I believe that every laproscopic procedure has pictures taken. I was handed my pictures from my colonoscopy, (yuch).
Did you have to ask for the pictures, or did he just give them to you?

I did have to request the pictures. I asked if they would record the surgery and was told it was against policy. I can understand that. I mean, if something was to go wrong, they would not proof floating around out there!

My doc was super cool and he was more than happy to take and print the pictures. I did ask in advance and reminded them again that morning. It's not the kind of thing you can go back and do again so make sure your staff knows how much it means to get the pictures. I'm sure they will do it!
