What happens to the removed part of the stomach?



Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
