But Scott, you are very tall and malabsorption issues are more a possibility. We women are not. To achieve normal weight without dieting the rest of our lives (duh, why we had this friggin' surgery) our limb lengths are very important, especially the absorbing limbs of AL+CC. I'm left with absorbing limbs of 60% vs the 40% BP limb. In my case where I should have had a 50cm common channel and ended up with a 100cm (double the length), that is nearly TWO FEET more bowel he left to absorb nutrients. That is significant.
But it is more than that. It is a question of medical honesty and trust. If a surgeon repeatedly swears he does Hess Method before surgery, then comes in to one's room and says YES HE DID THE HESS METHOD and then one discovers he LIED, is this not at the very least unethical if not malpractice? (But can;t sue Mexican surgeon. It's near impossible to do internationally anyway, but we all had to sign a waiver the morning of the surgery.)
