So, how do they get your stomach out? They do take the useless part out, right? It sounds stupid but I really would like to know and I keep forgetting to ask and my family keeps asking me this.

I know my surgeon took it out of one of the 7 incisions he made through a little tube that look like a turkey marinator. I didn't get to physically see it but he did show me which incision he took it out of! a slightly larger incision but it is still very small to imagine it came out of that.

Also, if you go on Youtube you can find short 5 min videos of a sleeve being performed. Quite interesting I may say! What a few of them.

Through the incision by your belly button. Bye bye stomach.

Oh no. I don't want to see an actual surgery. The bloodless ickiless erosion in my head is fine with me. I thought it came out a little incision, just had to be sure. Guess they just fold it like a cocktail napkin and slide it out. Now I'm picturing a magic trick involving scarves and stomach incisions.

They send it to pathology.

Make that "version in my head". Darn you auto correct! You dont know me well enough to finish my sentences!
