Questions about the Loop Procedure for Weight Loss - Dr. R?

[Guest guest]

Does any other weight loss surgery other than the MGB cause bile

reflux? (If yes, please name it)

Did the Mason Loop gastric bypass result in bile reflux?

Does the Billroth II Loop gastric bypass result in bile reflux?

Isn't it true that the word " loop " in both the " Mason Loop " and

the " Billroth II Loop " gastric bypass refers to a length of bypassed

intestine in both procedures that is connected to the new stomach by

an anastomosis?

Isn't it also true that it is the loop of bypassed intestine, joined

by an anastomosis to the new stomach, in both the " Mason loop " and

the " Billroth II loop " that results in bile reflux into the new

stomach?

Isn't it also true that attaching the loop (anastomosis) " lower " on

the new stomach pouch does not preven bile reflux into the stomach

through the anastomosis in either a Mason Loop or Billroth II loop

bypass?

Isn't it also true that whether the stomach is cut horizontally or

vertically, the shape of the stomach does not prevent bile reflux

into the stomach through the anastomosis in either a Mason Loop or

Billroth II loop bypass?

To your knowledge, is any other bariatric surgeon in the world doing

the Billroth II loop or the Mason Loop in any gastric bypass

procedure for weight loss?

Thank You,
