Guest guest Posted March 25, 2000 Report Share Posted March 25, 2000 OK, OK , you're sending these poor people with sore stomachs into " stitches " .......give it up!!!!!! ROFLMAO!!!!!!!! YOU'RE WILD! This poor girl doesn't have extra " appliances " stitched in there some place where the surgeon thought they looked " nice or something " . I think this is just a fancy name of the RNY, but they have to be distinctive in the way they name what part of the intestine was bypassed. GODDDDDDDD, I don't know, I just know my stomach is stapled, my intestine connected and *boom* I'm out of there!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beth --- Vitalady wrote: > > > .>>>>>>>>>.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2000 Report Share Posted March 27, 2000 I wonder what it means in real terms. I'm lost Bob (Sog) sog@... gastrostomy in this context means the stomach is hooked up to somewhere besides the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). In this case it is hooked up 120cm down further into the small intestine.

And it says Vertical gastric bypass, 120 cm Roux-en-y limb gastrostomy. At the risk of seeming dumb which I am when it comes to this stuff because I did not do any research on this stuff my pcp recommended it to me and after much agonizing I went forward and am very happy I did.
