Amt of small intestines
Does anyone know how much of the small intestines is taken out in RNY? Does any? I'm confused about this and also want to know how large the area is that the food meets with the gastric juices and stomach enzymes for absorption and digestion? This takes place in the small intestines, right? Can someone please clear this up for me? Thanks, Ginger
I had 150cc and Dr.Steiner and them always do 100cc or less because thats what they told me,but i had way to much bypassed for my starting weight of 242lbs But i had Randell Bolar, My Aunt had 100 bypassed by Dr.Greenlee and she was around 300lbs/ i have always heard that they go by your starting weight. And go to page 13 in your hand book and it will tell you all you need to no. And i was explained this way before surgery and It is all in the weight loss handbook.But you can call Amanda or any of them and they will explain iy better than i could...........how are you doing???

Hey Vickie! I'm doing great. I am currently having a hard time eating or drinking anything. I am just not hungry. The thought of putting anything into my mouth makes me a little sick. I am doing about 4 protein shakes throughout the day and trying to eat a little cottage cheese. Just don't want anything. I still get my vitamins in, but that makes it worse. I am getting all of my water in - barely. I know this will pass. I'm not worried about it.
I read what you said - it says that no part of the intestine is removed. I guess they consider the part of the intestine that they make the "Y" out of - bypassed and none of it is really taken out. I was just wondering how much of the small intestine is there after your food passes your stomach. Just curious.
How are you doing? Liking this cold and snowy weather? My kids got out of school today - they never get snow days in Fayette Co. Have a good one! - Ginger
