Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Ok people, I asked this on the main board, and as usual, I got no answer from anyone. So I'm asking it here. The surgeon I will go to if I'm approved does a "gastric bypass distal roux-en-y with 3' of jejunal interposition to the stoma". I think that means he will bypass 3' of intestine, correct? Doesn't that seem awfully short? I have read where some have like 60" bypassed. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Linda

I am not sure what all that means but I am thinking My surgeon only bypassed a foot of intestin so this is something I will be asking at me next app. Sorry I couldn't help more. 287/260/150 Shell

Did he say only a foot? His standard is 100 centimeters. I don't know how many feet are in that though.

Linda You probably didn't get aby feed back because I don't think most people really know that bit of info. It hasn't seemed to matter much in what people do after surgery as far as eating and recovery. My doctor said it is a patient basis for him. At your next appt. if you ask the doctor I would love to know the difference. Sorry I couldn't help.

Linda, Any updates from Humana? I hope that you get approved!!! I haven't heard anything yet, but am hopeful. Good Luck and let me know if there is anything that I can do!! Adrian
