[Lisa'slosinit 147]

before our surgeries ???Does anybody know how much all that excess (80%) tummy they took out weighed?...i just now thought about it ? Wonder if that has alot to do with why we lose so much at first ??? The thought just came to me ....lol!

Funny thing is I keep meaning to ask my Dr that question but always forget. I don't think the stomach itself would weigh very much since it is just an empty sack, but I really don't know. I just looked up on the internet that the average stomach weighs between 125-175 grams(4.4-6.1 oz) so if you do the math 3.52 to 4.88 oz.

i asked my dr at my last check up and he doesnt weigh or measure it. said to get a true weight of the volume they had to inject it with a certain chemical, and at the end it makes it explode, said its a bit too messy. it does get sent out to pathology but no sizes

I asked my doctor at my last visit but he said they don't weight it. Just gets sent to pathology and sliced up for exam.

Ugh, that probably wasnt the best thing for me to go look at 36 hours before surgery. As if I were not nervous already lol. It was cool to see though.
