Has anyone had their entire stomach removed?

 I had a follow-up with my primary care physician today (I have fibromyalgia).  Anyway, I was telling her about a girl in the UK who had to have her entire stomach removed due to a ****tail she'd ingested.  My doctor told me that the girl would be fine as this basically is what I'll be having done, too.  I told her that my surgeon told me he would not remove the stomach.  She said that didn't make sense to her as the enzymes aren't made in the stomach but in a different part of the body.  Anyway, I just wondered if any of you had had your whole stomach removed....?  I know it's a weird question, but I just wondered.  My surgeon did tell me that it was wise to leave it in "just in case" he ever needed to reattach it.  I can't imagine why he would ever need to do such a thing.  Anyway, I just wondered what some of your experiences have been if you want to share.
Appreciatively,

 I'm having a resection all rny - my remnant stomach is being removed, this is happening for two reasons the first being I went in for a sleeve the surgeon effed up big time and I lost a pie slice out of the middle of my stomach, I now can't be sleeved due to blood flow issues.
second reason was that I had the most unbelievable paranoia of a blind stomach -so it's going!!

i know there are a few others on here that have no remnant some have been revised from other wls some  have just had a straight up resection all bypass

 Stupid iPad resectional

 I'm sorry you've had such a rough time.  Thank you for sharing though.

 I can tell you almost all of mine was removed do to a fistula and I have a friend I know of that after constant pain for a year they did indeed remove the entire remnant stomach.

 Thank you, Allen. :)

Strange... does your doctor think you are having a Duodenal Switch? Everything I have seen and read those of us with a RNY keep our stomach it is just sealed off.

 I don't know what she's thinking to be honest....

RNY patients typically do not have any part of their stomach removed.  It sounds like your PCP doesn't understand how the surgery is typically done or how it works.

VSG and DS patients typically have about 85% of their stomachs removed.

If your entire stomach was removed, you would have no pouch.  Food would go directly into your small intestine.

Some enzymes are made in the stoma*****luding intrinsic factor, which we need in order to digest B12.  It sounds like your PCP is really unfamiliar with RNY.  I would not rely on her for information about that.

 Yeah, I think you're right.  She had the sleeve done years ago and told me she dies not recommend it at all.  I guess she just doesn't know much about the other surgery.
