Re: New Surgery Descrption

[Guest guest]

Hey Doc...GREAT PICTURES! They really help me see and understand (I

think)whats happening. It's seems to me that these pictures are a

good comparison and debunking of the Mason Loop and esophageal reflux

controversy. When gastric juices get to the juncture, the nature of

the connection encourage the juices along their intestinal track. For

gastritis, they would have to travel vertically, against gravity, the

entire length of the new stomach pouch to cause trouble. When I

compare this to the Mason loop, gastric juices had to travel a short

horizontal distance to get to the esophagus.

Good job!
