Dr Joseph Long - Denver
I've heard of docs on Co doing the loop DS but not the standard of care DS with 2 anastamoses. I would ask very specific questions, and even if he's doing the real DS, ask about common channel length - we're hearing about docs making extremely long common channels and tight sleeves, supposedly to lower the risk of nutritional deficiencies, but IMHO putting patients at more risk for inadequate weight loss or eventual weight regain.
It's very important to be well informed, ask questions, and advocate for yourself.
