Question:
Sorry...
My last question was incomplete...I was reading my surgical consent form and it lists the procedure that was performed as "divided gastric bypass-RNY" Does this mean that I was transected? Could it mean anything else? Thanks! — Margo F. (posted on April 22, 2002)

Instead of trying to guess why not just call your surgeon and ask?

If asking my surgeon had been an option, I wouldn't have asked for input
from this forum.

He and the doctor who assisted were killed in a horrific automobile
accident.

Your surgery records are still available. Its a LAW they be available for
so many years. I wpuld contact his old hospital and get a copy to keep for
the rest of your life. Somday there might be a question they could answer.
Get them NOW and put in a safety depoit box or multiple copies with friends
in case of fire or other calaminity. In Pennsylvania the law is 7 years,
and I WISH I had recoreds back to when I was a kid, It would of helped
getting approval for WLS.
