My Conundrum

So I was wondering, after surgery, what do I do with the piece of stomach they take out? At first I thought it would make a neat shower cap, but then I figured it might start digesting my hair. Then, since I like oatmeal, maybe I could make a Haggis out of it. Or, or maybe a new saddle cover for my Harley Hawg  with the training wheels. I mean I don't want to just throw it in the dogs dish. Then it came to me, why not ask the folks on the VSG forum on OH. So how about it gang, what did you post surgery types do with the stomach part they took out, and what do you pre surgery types plan to do with yours. All answers gratefully appreciated, and thanks in advance. Fred

I had my surgery at a learning hospital so i donated mine to science....otherwise im sure i could have made a boda bag out of it or something groovy...but im sure its long gone and disected by now.......in a landfill being eaten by seaguls....i dont care what they do with that thing it didnt do anything but cause me trouble!!!

Donate to science so they can find out why it was hungry all of the time.  

Hmmm, well, Iam not sure if we actually have a choice if we can get it "to go" or not? I'll take mine plain please,no whipped cream, no nuts.... Ummm, I think we should be like the hippies in de olden daze when they gave birth and buried the placenta under a specially chosen brand new tree!   

I'm *hoping* that they examined it carefully, sent samples to Path if necessary, and disposed of it as biohazardous medical waste.  Hopefully by incineration.   Lord knows New Jersey has enough problems with dirty needles washing up onshore, without my gastric remains scaring the heebie jeebies out of some poor kid.

Ummmm never really thought about it actually....lmao! I suppose they took it out and threw it down with the other surgical gunk garbage. I never ever thought to ask for the other half of my tummy...not sure I would have wanted to see it to tell ya the truth...lol It mighta ate me in my sleep or something...took a mind of its own..got mad cuz I cut it out or something...ya never know? :-) will look forward to seeing the answers here... hugs Sherri

eewwwww---and that's what I said when my best friend asked if I was going to bring it home----eeewwwwwww.  She acted like she would want it--and again eeeewwwww. I guess for me it good riddance!!!!   Just like any other useless friend that has outstayed his/her welcome. RhondaRoo

Well Fred, I had to pick myself up off the floor first from laughing so much about this topic.

I never got asked if I "wanted it packed to go"  so I imagine it got fed to the hospital cat!  Poor thing probably keeled over after all the rubbish that I ate in the few days prior to my surgery!

 

Good point, if I were to bring mine home next month, it would probably wander out of its 'jar' and raid the fridge or pantry, since it is always ont he make for something to eat!

I made a lampshade out of mine.  Problem is, it's in my bedroom and growls all night keeping me up.  Geez, even severed in half that things still causing me problems...
