What happens to the removed part of the stomach?

Is it just thrown away? Is it suitable for organ donation? Do you get it tanned and display it over your fireplace?

THAT'S SOOOOO DISGUSTING!!!! (yes, I'm shouting that) :P

I asked my surgeon for mine, but he said he can only take apicture of it for me. I wanted to do something "ceremonial" with it.....like burn it or bury it.

Oh, you want gross - I know someone that was offered for the surgery to be paid in full, if the person offering could have her removed stomach. No kidding.

Takes all kinds I guess.. Eeewww!

I told you not to tell anyone about that!!

Geeze can't anyone have a fetish around here...

I consented for mine to be used for research. Not that it was that special. Whenever you have something removed here you get the choice. I donated my cancerous uterus and ovaries too.

I said I wanted to see it. My surgeon said no. Was sent to pathology and then disposed of.

Menudo ;) lol

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Menudo ;) lol

I just laughed so hard, I startled the cat! Haha!
