Endoluminal Liner~Has anybody heard of this procedure?
I believe this is still classified as experimental but there are clinical trials going on. I believe this will be be a great surgery for diabetics. It's a plastic bag/tube that's put in the small bowel to keep food from being absorbed. It's kind of neat looking. I'm sure it wouldn't last forever or would have to be replaced every so often.
My big concern would be that we already have a lot of malabsorbtion. Can we really add more without inviting extreme deficiencies? But it looks like it would be easy to get rid of or try.
