New Study Opportunity

Dr. Kuhn and one of the pre-eminent Gastroenterologists in the country are beginning a new study to determine the optimal length of bowel to bypass. 
  
The study is now open for enrollment and includes all patients who are about to have Gastric Bypass and who have a BMI over 50. 
  
This will be a great addition to the current literature on the topic
