Question 1

would i be able to have stomach surgery to replace it with someone else's?

Accepted Answer

No: Intestinal transplants are used in rare circumstances for people with short bowel syndrome, but often do not last very long. There is no indication or procedure for transplanting a stomach that I am aware of.

Question 2

when after stomach surgery should you wait to get tattooed on the stomach?

Accepted Answer

Tattoo?: Not sure if you mean tattooed on your abdominal wall?  (your stomach can be tattooed by an endoscopist but noone would know about it!)  discuss this with your surgeon, because if you are having an issue with wound healing it is important to get their okay before you get a tattoo.  Otherwise, probably no major harm as long as clean needles are used.

Question 3

i wake up in pain it a strong dull pain in my stomach i have had a few stomach surgery in the past i throwing yellow nasty stuff?

Accepted Answer

Consult Surgeon: With your history, it is better to be safe than sorry. Since you don't indicate why or when you last had surgery you should call either you regular physician or your surgeon for guidance.

Question 4

following stomach surgery, what causes your leg to be numb and painful?

Accepted Answer

Not surgery: If you only had these symptoms within a day after surgery, then it is possible that your position on the operation table was such that it caused some pinching of nerves in your low back. With time and medications for pain it is likely to improve.

i have a stomach surgery scar since when i was about 10 or 9 years of age scar is open form tip hasnt healed and has puss, doctors all say leave it alone and it will heal. 11 yrs now and now and still no change what do i do

Accepted Answer

Hard : Hard to tell without a picture, but sounds like you should see your surgeon or go see a dermatologist to discuss the diagnosis and treatment options.  Perhaps a bacterial culture would be helpful since it sounds like it has pus.  I hope that helps.

Question 7
