Guest guest Posted August 29, 2001 Report Share Posted August 29, 2001 Joys surgery was a success according to Joe. Dr Welker gave her a 100cm common channel. He discovered upon measuring it that Dr Devaney had left Joy with a common channel of 225!!! No wonder she was having so much trouble losing weight. Apparently, Dr Welker measured it 3 times! He also reduced her stomach to 5 ounces from approx 10-10 1/2 ounces. Joe will probably post more about it here later...... shes doing well but groggy, Joe says.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2001 Report Share Posted August 29, 2001 Wow, 225cm common channel! I have read that the intestine will actually lengthen after surgery to adapt, but that either an amazing feet of nature or an amazing blunder on Dr. Devaney's part. The stomach may have streched a bit as well, but one has to wonder. After reading the annonymous post regarding being patient #13 (truely an unlucky number) of an unknown doctor somewhere within driving distance of Dr. Hess, I am inclined more than ever to belive that you shouldn't be one of the first 100 patients. Eech gad, can't they even get basic measurements right! Hull > Joys surgery was a success according to Joe. Dr Welker gave her a 100cm > common channel.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2001 Report Share Posted August 29, 2001 Renae, Welker was Joe's doctor. He was supposed to be Joy's for her original surgery, but Deviny took over due to some hospital politics.
