Stitches out tomorrow .. feel like a hedgehog with my 9 incisions ... how many do you sleevers get?
I still have my stomach ... and a new pouch .. we will compare notes laterFantastic....another milestone. No stitches for me. I had dissolvable internal stitches and glue on the outside. I had 5 incisions - but 2 are very small and not really noticeable. The other 3....one is larger and is where the stomach was removed. This one is where I feel stretching and there's brusising around it. Small price to pay though! Hope it goes well Jeff and your still feeling good!
amazingI had three incisions but they were stapled
The bypass can be reversible so they leave the stomach in there@jeff20stone ..... oh don't they remove the rest of your stomach when you have a bypass? Sorry I'm clueless. With a sleeve (I presume all sleeves) they cut it to about 20% of original size then remove the rest. Totally mind blowing!
that is what I was thinkingIt's it odd how they're all so different.
no going back for me lol ...The bypass can be reversible so they leave the stomach in therethough it's very rare for it to be reversed
I think it's just for health emergencies etc not sure that it is very commonno going back for me lol ...
