What is Mini Gastric Bypass? I had RNY over a year
ago but have never heard of this.

Hi,

Well, in layman's words it's like this. A small pouch is made from the stomach. Then at least six feet of the small intestines is bypassed and then the pouch is connected at that point. It is an extremely powerful surgery. It can be revised, less bypassed or more bypassed and it can be reversed back to no bypass. To read about it go to http://clos.net.

Hi -
I might be missing something, but the email address you referred to says "under construction." I'd love to find out more...
