Beware-Explicit op photos
My doctor has given me a copy of my op photos-very educational.I am going to try and scan them onto here.As I can't even do my ticker I don't know how well I will do.
If I don't have any luck my new tummy -probably is like yours. My Dr explained the new tummy to be similar in thickness to an adult index finger and about 40cms long.I don't know what your Maccas Thick shake straws are like OS but I envisage 2x of those would hold about as much as our tummies-about 100mls at the 4 week stage.The visual hit home like nothing else could.
Go to photo 4.The section with the X marked on it is what was removed.Above it there is a long tube.That tube is my new stomach.The drain you can see in the other shots was probably about 1/2 inch wide which gives another indication of the width of the new stomach.
The yucky yellow fat won't be there for much longer.Hopefully it has already decided to take off quickly!!
