Do the nurses usually allow a family member to visit you in the recovery room after surgery and not only in the assigned room?
-
Thank both you. The problem is that all surgeons claim they do both, but some recommend one over the other possibly because they feel more comfortable with one of the two. And wierd as it is, I could find any good surgeon around San Francisco for the mini bypass. How come people on this forum from the U.S. don't tend to do the mini by pass?
-
Which is more common - bypass or sleeve? I assume the surgeon's recommendation is according to what kind of surgery he does best...
-
Anyone had the bypass in California and did the surgery and recovery go well?
-
If it is not only since your surgeon prefers doing the Sleeve - Why did you have Gastric Sleeve over Gastric Bypass?
-
Hi, did anyone here have the mini by-pass? If not, why is it not popular?
-
thank you all for the explanations. They were very helpful

Hi, did anyone here have the Mini-Gastric Bypass? Why do so many surgeons do this, if it is a safer procedure that regular bypass or sleeve?
