Bo'Nanner? Or 1/2 an egg...?

Okay...maybe I'm looking at it wrong, but I don't see anything resembling a banana in my xrays. Am I looking at the wrong thing?


 

Are you talking about immediately post op or 6 months post op?

It doesn't really turn into a banana shape until about 6 months and by a year it's kinda sorta lumpy and mis-shapen.

 Really? Interesting.
I'm sure I've seen xrays of others that look just like a banana....

The only x-rays I have are immediately post op and what I think is my stomach looks like half an egg.

I was filing my labs in my WLS folder and stumbled upon my xray. I hadn't looked at it since I was immediately post op - when I had no idea what to expect (in terms of shape/size, etc.).

When you first come out of surgery your stomach looks like a hot dog.  It's a tube.  It doesn't stretch out to a banana until about 4-6 months post op. ;o)

 Ya...this is in no way tube shaped...but I could be looking at the wrong thing. Dang! Wish I could get the pic to show up!

Could it be swelling since it was just immediately post op?
