Comic Sans MS"]This is probably the craziest question but are you able to keep part of your stomach that is taken out as sort of a souvenier of your surgery!? Im not Crazy but i just wondered if you could do that or not?

That's so funny.... I did ask my doctor that question. He said absolutely no stomach souvenirs, stomach key chains, or stomach snow globes.

After surgery the stomach goes to pathology. I even asked him how does my big football stomach fit through the tiny incisions.

Pickle it and pop it on the mantlepiece, make a nice talking point at parties.

LOL, what are you gonna do with it? Keep it in your freezer then throw away when it's covered in freezer burn?

LMAO!!! I just laughed out loud and scared my cat!!!! HAHAHA.. that was really funny!

Donebare, That is what I want to know my incision is all of two inches! I cvonsider the part they took out as my new stomach's evil twin.
