Stomach they cut away???

[HoPe*87*]

Another strange question from me ladies and gents
Just wondering the excess stomach they cut away in bypass and sleeve. Do they remove it? I watched a clip on net of sleeve surgery and they pulled it out through an incision, is that right? Do they also do that for a bypass? Xxx

My surgeon leaves it in. It does shrink and it still has a blood supply to it. Hope this helps. This is fort bypass

My Dr told me that keeping it will still let you get pancreatic juices, Bile, etc from the bowel that is bypassed. Otherwise you could have more health problems.... The sleeve they can remove it because the bowel isn't touched.

Yep stays with you for other reasons and has its own blood supply.

Yep, mine is still floating about in there too!

In the Roux-en-Y bypass, the remaining part of the stomach is connected lower down in the intestines. It produces digestive juices which help digest the food in the intestines.

In sleeve ops, I believe it is removed (or it was on the op I saw on TV!).

Liz is correct, this is what I have been told.

I have 5 wounds on my tummy.... there 4 in a row and one above that. Of the 4 in a row the one (as I look down at it) that is 2nd from my right hand side is the largest - maybe 1inch - this is the one where my left over stomach was removed. In a sleeve op they remove 75-80% of your stomach the technical term used for the op is a Sleeve Gastrectomy, gastrectomy being full or partial removal of stomach. Hope this helps x x

i have 9 wounds so i just wonder what they left in Ha Ha

 

[mariew]

9? Perhaps he just liked stabbing you! lol. I only have 5 wounds plus a little tiny nick where I think he was going to make a cut, then changed his mind and did it elsewhere.

 

[angiemason]

i look a bit like a continental quilt at the moment with all the scars still being red etc and had two fantastic dents where they had to stitch my muscles because they bled so badly i would've got my hubby to take a photo but i daren't even let him have a look anyway thankfully they're much better now but i'll never wear a bikini (not that i would anyway )

 

[safc_chick]

Is it nine cos you had a DS, Angie, or was your surgeon just a bit of a sadist, lol xxx

 

[angiemason]

it was supposed to be 5 so i don't really know why they did so many more , and maybe he'd had a row with his wife and took it out on me instead of stabbing her

 

[Lizzo]

Wow, NINE scars!! I thought I was top of the league with seven, but I have to admit defeat graciously now!
