Question:
Hello I have seen alot of posts on here

Hi, I have seen alot of posts on here about what type of surgery to have. Well my question is I had a Long Limb Distal. Does this mean I was transected? I asked my Doc and he said I can never have a staple line leek. He no longer lives near me so I cant this question. Just wondering because I can get about 2000 - 2500 cal in a day. Sure I fluxuate about 10 lbs. either way. Any insught?    — lynbaby B. (posted on June 1, 2002)

I would assume you are transected, I am long limbed Rny Distal and I am. Good luck, I can get in about 500 calories at 3 1/2 weeks,

It sounds like you were transected. If I were you I would contact your doctor and find out for future reference. I am transected. I will be two years out in October and can get in 2500 calories a day too if I am not careful. I keep gaining and losing the same five pounds.
