Question:
Does Dr. Thayer transect the stomach?

Does Dr. Thayer of Newton-Wellesley Hospital transect the stomach or does he use staples only? Thank you so much for your help!    — [Anonymous] (posted on December 25, 2001)

I believe that Dr. Thayer does transect the pouch, although I m not one of his patients so I do not know for sure. Sign up for OSSG-NewEngland at yahoogroups.com and ask your question there. This is a support group for those of us who have had or are having surgery in the New England area. There are MANY patients of Dr. Thayer\'s on this support group. Good luck.
