So I finally told my husband about the surgery (my date is Oct. 8). After I explained it, his response was "so they take OUT your stomach but leave the fat? That makes no sense at all!". When I stopped laughing I explained it again...

:D

lol!!!

Hilarious

That's pretty funny!

Roflol!!!

Wow! A total failure of deductive reasoning if I've ever seen it...I hope you properly edumicated him!

Too funny...please don't leave the fat! :D

Too cute! Lol!

Not ONLY do they 'leave the fat' they take a few pictures of it while they're in there!!! LOL

LMAO how funny! I won't lie, while watching surgery videos on YouTube, I've thought to myself "why don't they just suck some of that fat out while they are in there???"

That reminds me of when I'd first tell people about the lap-band, back when I had it.

They put this adjustable band around you... automatically they're confused. They don't think of it as something that can open and close, they think of it like a rubber band that's a sealed ring. So they assume they cut through your esophagus, then reattach it with the band in place.

The band is adjustable... how could it possibly be adjusted? Oh, so they have to cut you open everytime you need an adjustment?

Fills are managed with a huber needle, to inject saline into a port under my skin... They stick the needle all the way into the band? Doesn't that hurt?

Smart people asked these questions.

I wish they could take the fat and put it in my boobs.

haha, awesome
