A funny from Mom

So last night I talked my mom's ear off about the surgery and everything. This morning she emails me: 

I am curious about what happened, physically, to the 2/3ds of the stomach that was removed??? The whole procedure is fascinating.

I told her that most likely the newly free part of my stomach probably went into a bio-hazard bag and got incinerated with the rest of the hospital body parts that evening.

Mom is a hoot!

When I was sleeved, May 23rd, I was told they would be sending
the cut out portion of the stomach to the lab to be checked out.  I
never heard anything about the results of the testing, but then it
really isn't that important tome.

They send out the 2/3rds they removed to pathology to check it for any abnormalities. I'm pretty grateful that they do as they found a tumor in mine and called to let me know about it about 2 weeks (i think) after the surgery. Thankfully, it was a benign tumor but left undiscovered I would have been dealing with stomach cancer in about 5 to 7 years.
Barbara W. if you haven't heard anything about it then most likely they didn't find anything exciting to tell you about
