How Much Did The Removed Portion Of Your Stomach Weigh?



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
