Guest guest Posted March 29, 1999 Report Share Posted March 29, 1999 Can anyone please tell me the difference between the open gastric bypass and the mini gastric bypass (besides the size of the incision). Does the procedure inside still resemble a roux-en-y with the distal stomach? Thanks for your help. weight is 268 height 5' 5 " BMI 46 going to Dr. Baker at Unity Hospital in MN and still gathering information. . . and WaItInG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 29, 1999 Report Share Posted March 29, 1999 Nothing is completely removed from the body. The upper, no longer used part of the intestine is still attached to the large, no longer used stomach. It's a bypass around these areas.
