puppyphat 397 Posted August 22, 2012 Anybody pre sleeve should ask the surgeon. No harm in asking and they are pretty cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sassypants 674 Posted August 22, 2012 That is pretty cool I would have liked to know how big the bit they threw away was lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allnewme 262 Posted August 22, 2012 That is so cool! I asked my Dr. How large my old stomach was and he said "It was pretty large". I look at the hole they made in me to take it out and it is amazing it is so tiny. This surgery is pretty amazing! I am so thankful for the Dr's that worked to perfect it so that I could have it done! 2 weight_no_longer and Sleeved&Hopeful reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
