are you ever afraid that.....

Your stomach will rupture? Like the line where they stapled it will get weak and break? I'm sorry for being negative, but this is the kind of thing that occupies my mind

After my doc explained that not only do they use a titianium staple line with less than 1/8th of inch between staples, they also line the staple line with reinforcement material, NO, No more worries and NOTING< not one thing went wrong.

Not after a few months, scar tissue + staples is actually stronger than the stomach material itself.

im only 19 days out but I was thinking that at first.. My mother still thinks that one day what if my stomach decides to rip open and all the contents of my stomach splash around on my insides. I think the doctors have it down pretty good now and they reinforce it. Not to say that it cant happen but its rare now....

No, I never thought that. I figured my old stomach was more fragile, no staples holding it together! If you haven't already. find a You-Tube video that shows the staples they use. Nothing is getting through those!
