HOW IS YOUR OLD STOMACH REMOVED

I know this a stupid question but when you have a larascopic sleeve done,what is done with the remainder of the stomach that was removed?

 It first goes to pathology for examination then is disposed of as hopsital waste.

I must have worded the question wrong. I was wondering how it was removed from your body, not was was done with it when disposed.

Thanks anyway,
Cheryl

the excised stomach is covered with a sterile bag while still in your body and then pulled out thru one of the ports.

Thank you so much, I guess I worded it wrong. Everyone else thought I wonderdered how it was disposed of!!

 Do a search on you tube it has the actual surgery if you want to see how it's remove pretty amazing what can be done 

yeah, i watched a surgery on youtube also.  its kinda creepy, but if you have a strong stomach, it is interesting to know exactly what they are going to be doing in there, and not in cartoon form! 

In the video I watched, it was pulled out throught on of the tubes they use for the laproscopic equipment. 

Here's a link to a video of the surgery being performed.  It is really interesting!
