There are actually over 10 forms of the surgery. I had something called bilieo-pancreatic diversion: most of my stomach was removed and about 70% of my small intestine is gone as well. The stomach makes it harder to eat more, and the removal of intestine was so that I absorb less calories. I can eat any fat and protein I want, it goes right through me! But carbs and sugars are bad, NAUGHTY!
