Her final bill was approx. $7,800 for hospital, same for Dr. R as bypass, anesthiologist was about $800 I think. However, at this time the hospital is still requiring $11,000 up front and will refund the difference. She would make a great contact is you don't have all 10 yet.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2000 Report Share Posted June 21, 2000 Hi, Can someone explain about this procedure? Is the stomach made smaller but the intestine not bypassed or visa versa? I tried to find info on the site, but couldn't. Thanks, friends.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2000 Report Share Posted June 22, 2000 Hi a, Thanks for your reply. I was talking about the mini gastroplasty. I know all about the MGB, but can't seem to find much on the other. Thanks! Debbie in IL In a message dated 6/21/00 2:24:45 PM Pacific Daylight Time, shoutjoy@... writes: << Hi Debbie! The best thing to do is to download the handbook and read it. There are illustrations as well. Also on the website www.clos.net there is a video you can watch of the procedure. Your tummy is made about the size of a magic marker. it is hooked at the end to your small intestines, 4-6 feet down or passed something like that. Anyway, I am sure someone else can explain it better. a >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
