Question:
Has anyone had part of their breast bone removed during rny surgery?

I am nearly 3 years post op, a good friend just had open rny and said they removed part of her breast bone during her procedure.Has any one heard of this? No one I have talked to has ever heard of this.    — bsmmc (posted on September 15, 2006)

I had surgery August 14,2006. I have never heard anything about removing a breastbone. That's strange.

Umm, nope...never heard of this. You have to post a follow up when you get the real scoop. I can only imagine she had an abnormalty that was repaired at that time or something went awry. Or she was so doped up and out of it when the doc told her about the surgery that she misunderstood what he said......
