This May Be A Dumb Question

Am getting sleeved on the 28th of April. And they do removed the stomach that is cut from u and take it out of ur body right? I have heard they reattach and let it inside you. That freaks me out.

Leave it inside you. Sorry, typo.

They remove the stomach. Look at the posting called "Greetings from tijuana" It has a pic of the stomach they removed from her just the other day.

Just remember: There are no dumb questions- only dumb people. hahaha sorry, couldn't resist!

It's not a dumb question. 2b is correct. The old stomach goes by way of the medical waste pile out back!! (boy I'm a riot tonight!)

No, the stomach is removed. It's not reattached. . .that would kinda freak me out too knowing that my cut away stomach was reattached and flappin' around in there. . ewwwww. . . .

With the RNY they leave the remnant stomach behind, hanging around not doing much except causing the occasional trouble, but with the sleeve (or DS, which uses the sleeve) it's gone.

The excised stomach is completely removed and ultimately torched. (A week later and that particular incision still smarts.)

Kelli my question might be the dumb one but here goes.......

How do they take the stomach out? The incisions are small aren't they so how will the stomach fit through? Or will they break it down inside then squeeze them through the incisions?

For me I have 4 very small incisions and then one 2 inch incision above my belly button. They pull it out through the big incision.

Oh it fits through the incision. If you have a strong stomach here's a video of the whole procedure. There are several on YouTube.
