well after months of procrastinating and waiting for the hospital to actually send it I have my operative report.. I do not really understand it and I hope someone here can help. It looks normal but hopefully someone can tell me.. ..

I'm not a medical professional, but everything that I did understand looks normal to me.

Hi cherylbaker reading your operative report you posted you had a 125 cm common channel, 175 cm Roux limb over 42-French bougie vertical gastric sleeve gastrectomy. enjoy

Is that the part that carries the bile? Does this seem like a normal ds?

essentially the DS anatomy is: the small bowel is disected into 2 limbs, alimentary and biliopancreatic. the alimentary limb absorbs injested food and average measures 150-200cm (this is your 175cm roux limb) the biliopancreatic limb reduction of bile and pancreatic decreases absorption the common channel is where the 2 limbs meet
normal is difficult to quantitate, and highly subjective depending on source, you put 10 bariatric surgeons in one room and you will get 10 different variations, some use Hess method of measuring your total bowel and limbs are based on % of total bowel, others use a general length for all patients. the lengths that are in your operative report are typical for your surgeon who doesnt use a shorter cchannel than 125 cm (he uses a standard length for his patients either 125 cm or 150 cm)

It wouldn't. You have three hours after you have posted something to edit or delete it. After that, only I can change things.
