Question I Keep Forgetting To Ask...

[dexter 205]

So, how do they get your stomach out? They do take the useless part out, right? It sounds stupid but I really would like to know and I keep forgetting to ask and my family keeps asking me this.

I know my surgeon took it out of one of the 7 incisions he made through a little tube that look like a turkey marinator. I didn't get to physically see it but he did show me which incision he took it out of! a slightly larger incision but it is still very small to imagine it came out of that.

Also, if you go on Youtube you can find short 5 min videos of a sleeve being performed. Quite interesting I may say! What a few of them.

Through the incision by your belly button. Bye bye stomach.

Oh no. I don't want to see an actual surgery. The bloodless ickiless erosion in my head is fine with me. I thought it came out a little incision, just had to be sure. Guess they just fold it like a cocktail napkin and slide it out. Now I'm picturing a magic trick involving scarves and stomach incisions.

They send it to pathology.
