I'm looking for more education on the common channel. I am wondering about a RNY to DS revision with a longer common channel to lessen malabsorption related issues. I thought I read once someone had a common channel of 125 cc for this reason. My reason is that I am not bubbling red hot for meats or fat. There I said it. Bacon - gross. Sausage - double gross. Tons of butter and cream - gross and more gross. Eggs - yummy. I do not know if it is my RNY, gallbladder with sludge or just a personal preference. Also, I keep reading about DS issues related to bacterial overgrowth and the need antibiotics and how quickly someone can develop protein malnutrition.
Is a longer channel defeating the purpose of DS? I would love to be free of this tiny pouch and the blind stomach so perhaps it is not defeating the purpose for me specifically.
Please help educate me!
