Did Someone Say Pyloric Valve?

 Because what you are reading is an abstract, not the study in it's entirety.  ~GG

Then do you have the link to the full study? and does the full study question why then some DS'rs as well as VSGers also have RH after sugery?

 The link is posted just under the abstract.

I've read the link already. None of my questions where answered in the link either. Sorry. To many holes in that study to be worth the paper it's written on.

 I'm sorry the abstract did not answer your questions.  The entire article can be found here in the Surgical Endoscopy journal for a fee.

I'll try and have my husband print it out and bring home, I think that's one of the sites we have acess to.

Oops, sorry that is NOT one of the professional medical journals we have access to. I'll have my hubby access the professional journals we do have access to and see if there is any thing referencing the paper. I would however suggest that if you don't have access to the full paper and can't reference it, not using it as a "source" of information. Unfortunately many things get published that are so poorly done that they really have no business being used as a reference or source.

Edited for spelling OOPS.

I love these threads. They grow my block list :-).

 This study will compare glucose and simple carbohydrate sensitivity. The hypothesis is that rapid emptying of high-glycemic index foods after Roux-En-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) causes reactive hypoglycemia. It is believed that the controlled release offered by an intact pylorus will be advantageous for long term results in bariatric surgery. This study can provide a scientific rationale, in a short duration of time, for why pylorus sparing surgery, such as the sleeve gastrectomy or duodenal switch, may offer therapeutic advantages, as compared to non-pyloric sparing surgery, namely the gastric bypass. clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00998374

 another overview:

We believe that rapid emptying of the non valved gastric bypass leads to reactive hypoglycemia and weight gain after the first year. It is our contention that preservation of the pyloric valve, the thinest area of the gi tract, will provide for better long term outcomes. This operation does not need to be severely malabsorbtive. We conclude that pyloric preservation will become a standard priciple in bariatric surgery in years to come.
