Yeah that's the cut out part when they cut/burn it off I guess both sides should be air tight?

Yes that is the part they cut out. They test for leaks because if this part has a leak then in all probabilty the part still left inside does too.

that's the portion removed . Not even MX would they put a live organ on the gurney ;)

Only guess I take is they check for leaks because it's the same zipper line burned closure thingy they used on the other side of the stomached left inside. Therefore both should be airtight. I don't know.. Just a guess

Just guessing, but wouldn't they also check it for leaks to make sure nothing leaked out of it prior to pulling it out? You wouldn't want to get septic from anything coming out of either side of the stomach, right?

I have a drain, so I'm pretty sure that's where the juices would go. Ew, juices.

Yes, they check both sides for reasons mentioned above.

I just asked before, if he could take a pic. I have some of it being cut and my sleeve too. Those will have to wait.

And Laura, shame on you, blasting mx surgeries!! :P

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
