Samma Report post Posted February 25, 2015 I made my doc take pictures of the skin he removed. He told me know one had requested it before, the pic is below, it's graphic but crazy interesting 3 WildSpirit68, kindred71 and Madhouse Melissa reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CeCeJD Report post Posted February 26, 2015 Wow. That's pretty amazing. Like Cinwa, I would be interested in knowing if they told you the weight of the excess skin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Madhouse Melissa Report post Posted February 26, 2015 That's pretty awesome! I was going to ask if I could see the stomach they remove when he makes my sleeve. I do have a fascination with that kind of stuff, though. 1 BethanyV reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mj Woodroof Report post Posted February 26, 2015 Quite honestly it would never have crossed my mind to have pictures taken. That is something I certainly wouldn't care to publish. 2 Giggely and GAviv reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Njjenny62 Report post Posted February 26, 2015 Gross! I had ten pounds of skin removed when I was 44 and done having babies. I never wanted to see that skin again. EVER. 1 GAviv reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samma Report post Posted February 26, 2015 I'm a nurse so it was really interesting to me. When I had my wound I took pics of it every day. It's from my stomach, and there's more in the bowl if you look closely. They didn't weigh it but I'm down 30+lbs since the surgery 9 weeks ago, some of that weight loss, some skin loss. 4 Smallbites2015, kindred71, War41777 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My Bariatric Life Report post Posted March 4, 2015 I did not want a pic of my skin/fat. I got instead a pic of me on the OR table after my surgery. And I absolutely love it. 1 blameitonthegenes reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThinCVT Report post Posted November 29, 2015 very cool....thanks for posting. Did you get pictures of your open incisions? I'm a vet tech so none of this is "gross" to me. I wanted them to video my VSG but they wouldn't. Just had my gallbladder removed and I want to keep the stones. They wouldn't let me. What is WRONG with these doctors?! 1 the_gilded_lily reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My mom also had her stones, by grandma had them turned into 5 dice. well the surgeon that did my gallbladder is an ......I've thought so from the first time I met him. When I asked about keeping the stones he flat out said no....all tissue had to be sent to pathology. I know LOTS of people who have their stones so I know he was full of shite. But I wasn't arguing with a guy about to poke holes in me and remove body parts. 1 Clickin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

averett105 Report post Posted April 18, 2016 I'm a surgical tech so I have seen this and more before. Not gross to me at all. I find it very interesting and can't wait for mine. When I had my hysterectomy I asked to be awake so I could watch and they let me, they put a mirror above the table so I could see everything...it was AWESOME! 1 ThinCVT reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
