What happens to the removed part of the stomach?



Recommended Posts

Is it just thrown away? Is it suitable for organ donation? Do you get it tanned and display it over your fireplace?

I asked my surgeon for mine, but he said he can only take apicture of it for me. I wanted to do something "ceremonial" with it.....like burn it or bury it.

Oh, you want gross - I know someone that was offered for the surgery to be paid in full, if the person offering could have her removed stomach. No kidding.

I consented for mine to be used for research. Not that it was that special. Whenever you have something removed here you get the choice. I donated my cancerous uterus and ovaries too.

I said I wanted to see it. My surgeon said no. Was sent to pathology and then disposed of.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
