Re: Support for MGB - from a medical professional (long)

[Guest guest]

<< The gastric pouch created for the MGB is a vertical

one rather than a horizontal one. This allows the gastric secretions

to drain DOWN and AWAY from the esophagus. This in turn, reduces

acid reflux and esophagitis. It doesn't eliminate it - but it does

reduce it. >>

As an RN this is my thinking as well. I wrote yesterday and asked if I was

right in this thinking.. but no one responded. Glad to hear you agree.

Also, since you work in a center for GI Cancer.. what is the general

consenses from the docotors there about the MGB?? Have you talked to them

about it??
