I had my 2month postop check up today 50lbs lost, over 33% weightloss so far. When I was there I got a copy of my operative report from
Dr. G
This stuff is like another language !?¡¿ I am so confused:

Common channel 75cm
Alimentary channel 200cm
Biliary channel 415cm

Is this good? Usual?

Either way im still so happy, 50lbs down is awesome

My understanding the 75cm common channel is what Greenbaum goes with a lot. Maybe mostly for revisions, but I'm not sure about that. My common channel is 100cm and I had no trouble losing. Hoping you find the same. Good luck!

I have a 75cm common channel.  It is the shortest my surgeon will do, and from what I've read, the shortest of normal range, which can be from 75 cm to 150cm, depending on how you "measure out".

Some surgeons don't measure, but go with a standard cc length for everyone.  Your measurements look pretty normal to me.
