Does anyone know much about a reux en y surgery? Not sure if that is spelled right! If so has anyone heard of this surgery being done for reasons other than the "typical" gastric bypass. Any info is appreciated. I've tried doing several searches on the internet but only find things relating to people losing weight. My mom had this done for a perforated small bowel.

She is recovering well. Although she was taken to ICU because they found an ulcer (which I was told by GI doc that this can be a risk of the surgery she had.) She's on protonix and flagil (sp)

Thanks!
