I second Caroline on the Leapfrog toys. I have been continually impressed

with how fun and education their toys are. My son doesn't even know how

hard his brain is working when he plays with them. They've got a great bank

for teaching the value of coins and the practice of having savings goals

too. Every Leapfrog toy we've gotten has had a lot of play value. The kids

love them.

I show them a football saying this is

about how much food the preop stomach can accommodate and then I show them an

egg and tell them their pouch will probably accommodate this much food

Teaching tools

Hello group:

I'm sure this sounds like a very elemenatry question, but what type of

teaching tools is everyone using when instructing gastric bypass patients

about the visual size of the stomach pre-operatively and post-operatively?

Thanks very much.
