Photos

I'm sorry for the wait with these!! I had some issues resizing images to get them to upload!

10 MARCH 2014

Before admission into the hospital

Just before anaesthesia/surgery

THE FOLLOWING ARE PHOTOS OF PHOTOS SO THE QUALITY IS A BIT OFF.  LOOK AWAY IF YOU ARE SQUEAMISH!!

This is the cutting/stapling tool - on the left side of the tool is the stomach I will have remaining, and on the right side is stomach being removed

This is my remaining stomach and the staple line, some of the stomach is under the yellow fat that the surgeon placed on top to help protect and heal.  You can see my liver being held up on the top of the photo using tools.

This is the 'bean' part of the stomach that was removed.  It is filled with gas in this image but it would hold approximately 1 - 1.2 L.

 

THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN ON 15 MARCH 2014

This one is showing my 5 incision sites.  Bit hard to see but there's one at the the top in the centre, one on my right side, my belly button and two on my left side.

I will post a photo of the actual incisions when my dressings come off to show that they are actually really small not as bad as I was thinking at all.

Any questions, please ask.
