HEY DANNY ITS ME RAY ~ LAS VEGAS NV
Hi Danny
Thanks for getting in touch. WOW! sounds like you’re really doin’ good ~ GOD
BLESS YOU !
So Danny, you had no problems like leakage so far?
QUESTIONS:
What are you eating now, i.e. soups or all blender foods ?
Do you have any cravings ? i.e. ice cream, cake, you know all the bad stuff ?
How many times do you move your bowels ? i.e. once a day, once every other
day, etc.etc.
You said you choose the open Gastric Bypass…hummm. Now what I’ve been
reading and have gone to a lecture in San Diego. The doctor there said:
Laparoscopic Gastric, Roux en y procedure is best do to the fact that the
healing is much more easier on the patiences. Its quicker too, leaving the
patience less exposed to being open and more risk of anything happening. And
less
pain too.
Danny, please don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying you made a mistake. The way
you sound and feel you’ve made the right decision for you and that’s GREAT.
As for me its the RNY procedure when I’m cleared from the insurance company.
Other than that I wish you all the success and health in the world.
Please keep in touch

I’d like to jump in here with a comment about the open vs lap procedures. Both
have their advantages (and their disadvantages), and sometimes a lap procedure
turns into an open if there are problems during the surgery.
But there are two times when an open procedure is almost a necessity. One,
when you want a distal bypass - there are very few docs, if any, who will do a
distal bypass as a lap procedure. The second is if your doc is VERY familiar
with doing it open, and not as familiar with doing it lap. Then, of course,
you want your doc to the the thing he’s best at.. <G>

Don’t forget - most insurance companies will not cover LAP. You actually have a
higher chance of a complication when you have a LAP vs. open.
