really strange question

Ok I might be weird but I was actually wondering when they take out that 80% of the stomach what do they do with it? Do they just toss it in the trash or quarintine it . Lol. Just a crazy thought.

It's disposal medical waste. It is removed by a company that is a disposal company.

Well, they send it to pathology then discard it

I don't think your question is weird. I had a weird request for my dr. I asked if I could see the stomach after the operation, but I was told NO and I also asked what do they do with it. I was told it gets sent to a lab for pathology, record the findings. If there any abnormalities that may be of concern, they will save it for further studies. Otherwise, they get rid of it.
