I stumbled across Dr. V by accident and found he is a wealth of knowledge. He really tells it like it is, and frankly some of it is hard to hear even though he says it with compassion. He's direct and humorous as he explains just about everything you ever wanted to know about surgery, the body, and the mind games associated with weight loss.
One little nugget he described is that when the omentum (the layer of fat that protects our organs) is detached from our stomach area to perform our WLS, the surgeon does not need to reattach it, because it will migrate back and attach itself! How wild is that? Our bodies are insanely complicated and capable of doing amazing things!
Anyway, if you have some time, he is worth watching. Here's the link to his videos.
