Pacific Laparoscopy - Weight Loss Surgery in San Francisco, California Bariatric Surgery Center for Morbid Obesity
I'm not pushing this site but these people where doing it from the start. There Site was plenty of information. Diagrams of the different surgeries.
I had them do mine. The Dr. Robert Rabkin perfected the laproscope procedure. This is from their site:
We began in 1979 with gastroplasty, a purely restrictive procedure. In 1984 we introduced a “hybrid” procedure combining moderate restriction of food with moderate malabsorption. A refinement, the Duodenal Switch (DS), has been our primary procedure since 1993. Our Laparoscopic techniques evolved directly from 10 years pioneering work in Laparoscopy and more than 26 years in bariatric surgery, including twelve years with the DS as our primary procedure.
Take a look.
