Is it ok?

Is it ok to ask the doc to save the remains of my stomach and give it to me so I can make a wallet or a pair of slippers or something? Or would it be wrong?

      You might get a pair out of it. After all it is the stretchy part of the stomach they are removing. Or maybe you could use it to make haggis?

      Yup. That's my silly hubby. We are in this together and very serious about it. But nothing wrong with a sense of humor.

    You can ask your doctor anything, however, I'm pretty sure that by law in the U.S. at least they can't let you have it and for that matter they have to send it to pathology to be checked over.

    As a nurse I can tell you that they are not going to hand over medical waste to you. Sorry. Ask for a picture.

    Also, save yourself the embarrassment, they will look at you like you have three heads.
