Does this type surgery even exist anymore?

One of my co-workers (Melinda) just asked me to find something out about a jejunostomy/jejunoileal (intestinal bypass). Off the top of my head and from my basic understanding, this procedure is *outdated*, and is no longer performed...I don't know ANYTHING about this without doing a search on the internet. Does anyone have anything to share on this procedure which was probably done some 20 or more years ago? I want to present the information (pro or con) to her in hand or let her know where to obtain it. Is there a website somewhere that I can refer to for her? I want to give her ACCURATE info is she is considering WLS and I know my *AMOS Family* has the REAL "hook-up"~~Thank you~~
