who in Il does the mini bypass? and does it work?
Look through the list of bariatric doctors to see if you can locate one that does the surgery. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/professionals/find-professional.php?type=46 That is the link for looking up doctors in the US here on this site. Go to as many seminars as you can to find out if it is an option for you and what the track record is for this form of WLS as far as success of weight loss. Here is a site that you can go on and see if there is a bariatric professional that does MGB. http://www.docshop.com/bariatric_weight_loss_surgeons/states.html Also go to www.asbs.org and search this site for a bariatric professional that does the WLS you are interested in. When you go to this site look under the tab that says "patients" and there is a search tool there for you to find a surgeon in your area.
I Googled the procedure name and got a lot of information on the surgery. You just need to make the decision if it is the right choice for you. I also saw that there is a forum for MGB on this site, you might want to post a question there also. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/mini_gastric_bypass/
Good luck to you and come back with any questions that you may have and someone will try and help you. I hope all of this makes sense to you and if you need something explained further that I stated to you let me know.
