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 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.

Wow! Those guys were dead serious wanting to keep their stomachs in a jar! Lol... I was just kidding! Probably couldn't make a PAIR of slippers anyhow... and just one slipper would be plain silly...

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? :P

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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
