Guest guest Posted July 17, 2000 Report Share Posted July 17, 2000 Flo, my dear friend, Busching just had surgery last Friday. She was going to have just the mini gastroplasty, but convinced Dr. R to do a small bypass while he was in there. I'm convinced it makes a huge difference in the outcome!!! She was also a self pay. I'm sure she'll post, but her email is tracy busching [ raventmb@... ] if you want to contact her directly. She was barely over 200, and I think she's about 5'4 " . She's a very new post op, but she can give her perspective! BTW, did you weigh today? I'm waiting... :-) Hugs, Amy. RE: MiniGastroplasty Has anyone out there had the gastroplasty instead of the MGB. I have a friend who is 5'2 " and 202 pounds who wants one or the other. Anyone know about the costs, what is involved, how long in the hospital, etc.? I gave her Dr. R's email address to find out but now I'm interested in finding out...
