[Guest guest]

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!
