between the MGB and the RNY? just the way they staple and attach the small intestine?
I'm assuming the restrictions of no soda......very low sugar intake are the same?

Hi,

The MGB is easiest to describe is at http://clos.net.  The difference is the connections and the amount of intestines bypassed.  The MGB bypass is at least 6 feet bypassed.  The RNY is around 13 inches but that may vary.

Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.
