Just a stapled stomach? Or is there something in there for support?

Thanks for posting the pics. I have never heard of a Valtrac V-BAR. Learn something new today. Thanks!

I don't recall Dr. K saying anything about putting something in my stomach for support. Maybe it's just used under special cir****tances?

Dr. Kemmeter does not use them. The only doctor I know of in Michigan that does is Dr. Hares, and it sure didn't help my sister from getting a leak!

What an interesting thread. I had no idea.

I don't know what I had and I didn't even know to question that.

Dr. S does not use any foreign objects.
