Wow, I guess that's one of the pitfalls of being one of the first to a new surgical procedure. I'm glad you finally got the tool you needed! What did you revise to? A smaller sleeve or a different procedure altogether?

Good to know you approve of the surgeon's technique since he did my surgery too! ;-)

I'm assuming they had to convert to open to get that "bigger than a newborn" stomach out.....how could that have come out through his belly button?? Interesting...thanks for sharing!

Nope, they were able to do it laparoscopically. The incision they pulled it through is only about 1.25" wide, but the skin around it is all wrinkled...you can tell it was REALLY stretched out! Surprisingly he's not really in any pain.
