A Reminder For Me...

I am putting this video up as a reminder to myself that patient compliance is SO important with a gastric band.

The next time I want to stuff myself silly with cookies, cake, or whatever food is available at the moment, I need to think of this video. (warning: it's kind of graphic)

PS: This is a REALIZE band, not a Lap Band shown in this video.

  1. Thanks for the reminder!
    Sometimes it's better these things are graphic - you take them more seriously.

  6. Wow...that is such a great video. Not the content of course, I feel bad the patient wasn't compliant and ended up losing the band. I never want to lose mine or even have any kind of repair. *knock wood* Thanks for this.
