The blind (remnant) stomach...

Hi...I would like to ask a few questions that some of you may be able to answer. I've studied the RNY for many years. I've gone to support groups (heard the bariatric surgeons talk and answer questions). I've been on OH for over 13 years...But I haven't been active for a while (out there living life). My weight and blind stomach are good.

I would like to know if anyone has had exploratory surgery on their blind stomach? Did they start with the stomach or other organs first? Was it arthroscopic or just the doctor's own vision? Have you had your blind stomach removed?? Do you personally know anyone who has had their blind stomach removed? How did they adjust? Anyone with stomach cancer issues? Anyone with an ulcer in their blind stomach?

Would just like to get a thread going about the blind stomach and problems you know personally you have faced or have seen people face. We all know what they say at the support meetings and orientation classes. Looking for first-hand knowledge.

Have you heard any bariatric surgeons talk about different autopsies they have performed on former patients...What they've seen? Anything interesting they've discovered?? Again, haven't been in the loop for many years and just would love to hear or see studies on the blind stomach...

Thanks, Brian

I have wondered those same things but I've never seen any info on it. I hope you get some responses.
