Re: Pancreatic cancer and BPD/DS FOR CHRIS

,

Yes, with the DS you keep the lower half of your stomach. Instead of

your stomach being divided with a horizontal cut it is divided with a

more or less vertical cut. It is actually a semi-circular cut along

the greater curvature. You end up with a hot-dog shaped stomach.

You keep the top half and the bottom half. You merely lose the left half.
