ceep,

I know that my wife's surgeon (Dr. Noel at HUP) does that for some

super morbidly obese patients. A fellow HUP postie of mine was 711 pounds

at the time of his surgery 4/17/02. Dr. performed a VBG on him at

that time (to minimize the time he'd be under) with the revision to RNY to

be done at a future date.

The trouble is that Dr. won't do the RNY revision until he stops

losing weight from the VBG and the last I had heard, he was down over 240

pounds in the last 15 months.
