I thought it was just me. I kept thinking, it's my stomach, I think I should take it with me!

Just an FYI for most people who have not yet had surgery. Many laparscopic towers have camera boxes with a hard drive built in. If you asked your surgeon and bring in a flash drive I'm sure many would gladly record your surgery and give you a copy if you asked nicely (it's literally two button presses for them).

Obviously it would only show you the internal portion of your surgery (which really is the only cool part to see anyway)

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.

Looks health

I received before/after photos with the surgery report. It's pretty standard that they take photos.

That's so cool. I wanted my surgeon to do that but I completely forgot to ask about it the day of my surgery. It would have been cool to see my own insides. Wanting that isn't weird at all. [emoji846]

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
