Guest guest Posted June 20, 2000 Report Share Posted June 20, 2000 Dear Gang, I know that 6 to 8 feet are generally bypassed with the MGB surg. Does anyone know what happens to the bypassed organs? Do they atropy, or become cancerous since there is no more peristalsis taking place? Thank you ! =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 20, 2000 Report Share Posted June 20, 2000 : I posed a similar question to Dr. R. He said that we could get a reversal 10 years from now if need be. I asked him if everything would still be availible and working and he said yes. So I assume that all internal organs stay in working order. Someone out there correct me if I am wrong.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2000 Report Share Posted June 20, 2000 I had also asked a similar question and was told that the bypassed stomach and small intestine stay healthy (they still have blood supply) and there is some psuedo-parastalic activity that prevents the bypassed intestine from atrophy or cancerous growths.
