Guest guest Posted October 19, 2000 Report Share Posted October 19, 2000 I went back to Dr.'s Website and re-read the procedure- I swear I thought that the staple line created the division- I have written to Dr. R. For clarification. I still think that the two are not physically separated- But, What ever it is - I still want the MGB Debby (in Arizona) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2000 Report Share Posted October 19, 2000 The stomach is stapled, not incised, in the MGB. Easy to reverse should the need arrive. Just thought I'd let ya' know. Of this fact I am certain. (And not much else!) PhillyJude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2000 Report Share Posted October 19, 2000 LOL LOL I did not mean to start a controversay - but I am relieved to know I am not the only one who was a little confused on this issue. I just find it amazing that you could slice a stomach off - staple it - suture both sides - do your new intestional connection and close in 20 minutes - and then for the patient to be up and dancing within a few hours is just wild..... I will report what Dr. R. Says when he responds Debby (In Arizona) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
