I was just wondering if anyone asked or was told how much the removed portion of their stomach weighed after being sleeved? I asked but did not get a straight answer. I'm sure they weigh it before they toss it or donate it.

I go for my post op appt. The 12th and that is on my list of questions. Probably doesn't weigh that much but I want to know how big was the section removed. I will let u know when i get the answer.

Great question hope I remember to ask on my 1 week post op check up today

My surgeon was more interested in capacity rather than weight. This is 1 of 3 pictures he gave me post op. i love it!!!

I am Australian, so I was sleeved in Sydney.

puppyphat i love this pic its awsome lol.

It really puts it into perspective. No wonder I could eat a family sized pizza on my own in one sitting. Thank goodness those days are gone.

I'm not sure how much mine weighed but he did tell me it was larger than a basketball. :-/

Cool pic! And that's probably not stretched out to full capacity.

Can't wait to get rid of mine!

Hello everyone,

I had my 4 hour preop class on yesterday and a lady asked what they did with the stomach they removed. The head nurse told us that they send it to lab first for testing then it is burnt!~ I love the picture tho...very interesting...

My surgeon told me at my 2 week visit that it was very irritated and put me on nexium tablets. I didn't have any symptoms, so was thankful for the "inside" info.
