The photo didn't show up.. so here's attempt #2... hope it works.

You are lucky. They wouldn't take a picture of mine even though I asked them too.

Oh, alright. The surgeon was actually the one who brought it up to my husband.. He asked him if he wanted photos so he snapped away.. :)

I work in the OR so I asked my friends to record the surgery for me. This is a picture of the removed part of the stomach on the right. The left is the staple line along the bougie inside.post-29123-13813658887545_thumb.jpg

Rodswife.. That's too bad I don't see why they couldn't help you out with that.. It's just a photo...

Military hospital. Liability etc. I was disappointed.

I guess that is policy (SOP, whatever), but I cannot see why taking a picture of a dead organ could cause a liability issue.

I forgot to ask them to take a picture. I would have wanted an inside picture like amr got. Heck, I would want a video of the whole thing!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
