Are we supposed to post pics of the portion they took out? How would we do that? I'm confused...

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!

      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?
