I know this is creepy but.....

Has anyone asked their surgeon if they would take a picture of their stomach after being removed? Just curious if anyone is as weird as me (according to my husband). Lol

    My surgeon actually wanted to give me a video of the entire procedure. I opted out of that one haha

    I've got pictures of my stomach pouch before , during and after. I nearly died when I saw it as I had no idea he was giving me bloody photos of it lol
    I can see where he fixed my hiatus hernia and where he fixed in place my minimiser ring

    I was mainly concerned about my liver (and asked my surgeon to show video/photos of it), which I have a high res photo paper of:

    I would have liked to see video of the whole thing being done, but it's cool seeing this.. likely the only clear picture I'll ever see inside my abdominal cavity.

    I wonder why you don't get to keep it if you ask. It's a piece of YOUR body.

    My guess is for biopsy and proper disposal
