I remember that and I would bet that's what she has. To all you pre-ops out there, this has become one more question that is crucial to discuss with your surgeon - not JUST that it's a real 2 anastomosis DS, but that the common channel and limbs are the tried and true lengths that all the documentation of excellent long term results are based on. Hess method is great, but if not that, at least a cookie cutter DS with a common channel of 100 cm or thereabouts. There is, to my knowledge, no long term study documenting the same results with a cc of 300 cm. I do understand that some surgeons have been bit in the butt by a few patients who were noncompliant and got into nutritional deficiencies, but that's IMHO not a good reason to give future patients an excessively long cc and still call it a DS.
