Guest guest Posted May 19, 2001 Report Share Posted May 19, 2001 .. I want to find out if there are a lot of differences on how many supplements you have to take between the 75 and 100 cm common channels According to the chart he gives you at post op there is just a requirement for the DS, he doesn't specify any difference in the common channel length that I know of. However I could be wrong. Just to throw in my 2 cents and you know how little 2 cents are worth: I would not recommend less than 100 cm common channel length, some patients who had less are having bowel problems and I am sure that the "extra" weight loss is not worth the possible digestive problems. For me long term I would prefer to know I would have a better chance of health with a longer common channel. <<<<<<<<<<drops 2 cents in can>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kathy B Dr. Elariny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
