Guest guest Posted May 18, 2001 Report Share Posted May 18, 2001 Hi, I am 8 weeks post-op and have lost 56 lbs. from 272 to 216. My common channel is 80 cm. I agree that 50cm would be too short. You don't want to have long term problems with malabsorbtion. I think between 75 and 100 is more practical and you will have good weight loss with that amount. > +Yesterday (Wednesday May 16th) I had all my pre-surgery tests done. > When I am asked my doctor (Dr. Buckwald in MN) how long my common > channel would be, he said 75cm.
