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 doctor has one of his on his website and I watched that, that was good enough for me

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.

i wanted to see pics.not an option

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]

[emoji33][emoji33] oh my!!! Did they get rid of the fat they cut off the stomach too? My goodness now the reality of surgery is hitting me.

I wish I had thought of that. Maybe seeing yours will be enough.

I got a complete video for motivation when I need it

I got my pictures without even asking. Love them.

Ooo cool!
