Kay,

I doubt that anyone has significantly less then a 50cm common channel

length. The literature reports 50cm-100cm as the range. A 90cc

stomach also sounds near the lower limit, though there may be a few

that are a touch smaller. You cannot do the DS with a much smaller

stomach than that because there will not be room to keep the pyloric

valve. The RNY procedures drop the volume down to 30-50cc's, but

their is no pyloric valve.
