Did they fill yours up with something? Mine looks flaccid compared to yours.

I got a pic of my surprise hernia to take home but no tummy..that would've been cool.

Post the hernia pic! I would like to see.

I got a whole series of pics with my gallbladder removal, but didn't even think to ask for with my VSG. :(

Now I wish I had asked for this. I have other surgery images from my 2 knee surgeries but never thought to ask for one for this surgery. It would have been very cool to see how big of a portion they removed.

I didn't think ask either. I wish I had. No offense but that first that tummy looks huge! I bet mine was like that.

Yes, I believe my husband said air was put in to show the volume of food it could hold... Yikes!!!

Man, I wish I had thought of that!!! These pics are so cool! I'm sure if I had disclosed the surgery to my mom she would have requested a pic. I had a benign tumor removed when I was 14, and per her request the dr made a slide with a slice of the tumor so she could examine it under the microscope (she's a biology professor). That was really awesome to see.

Being a child of the 60's I was still enjoying the morphine when the surgeon came in to see me and tell me I could go home. He looked quite puzzled when I asked him if he had found my missing car keys in that stomach he dragged out. He just said he had someone else drag it out and that he hadn't heard anything. He left pretty quickly after that for some reason. :huh:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
