My surgery is coming up on Feb 21. Is it morbid to ask for my stomach that the surgeon removes?

Oh I dunno mines been trying to kill me ever since it got removed. I don't think they'll let you cause it's a bio hazard but it won't hurt to ask!

I got knocked out before I could ask to keep mine. Lol, I wanted it in a jar. But then again, post op I was in too much pain to ask for it

I'm going to try and remember to ask my surgeon when I go back for my pre-op appt. I was hoping to have it in a jar. I like to see what size it was.

They will not let you, it goes against the Bio hazzard rules and stuff. I wasnt even allowed to keep my wisdom tooth, I think its a new thing.

Sorry they send it to pathology and then I am sure it is disposed of. I thought of the same thing. When my dad got his gallbladder out he got great colored pictures of the surgery and his gallbladder. That was pretty cool.

Hmmm...I wonder if they can take a picture of it for me....the next best thing if I can't have it in a jar...lol

My surgeon took pics of my before and after stomach and insides. He showed them to my Mom and Hubby before I woke up. LOL! They still looked pale when I saw them!

Mine went to pathology to be checked!

I have a picture of mine in my gallery.

I kept my wisdom teeth

They tried to give me my gallstones, yuck, I didn't want them!

I didn't ask for my stomach, lol, that never occurred to me. However, as I was a band to sleeve revision, I did ask for and got to keep my band and the port. I still have them to this day.

My god Susan! Where do you keep a thing like that?

My wife got her gallstones. They gave them to her covered in green slime, in a jar marked "gallbladder and contents." They had obviously just squeezed them out of the gallbladder and didn't clean them. Barf.

Omg Susan did it have flesh and blood all over it?! Did you beat it up when no one was looking?!
