What Does Bile Ducts Minimal Dilation Mean?
Hi, I had gastric bypass surgery on 2003, the last few months I have been having issues with digestion. I recently had an Upper GI/small bowel series and it was determined that the barium was passing through from the pouch to the portions of the excluded stomach. Also my bile ducts were minimally dilated. What does this mean I have a f/u with my surgeon who did the gastric bypass.Thanks for your help

hi.
since you had previous abdominal surgery with proximity to the biliary tree, a minimal dilatation in your bile ducts is essentially normal, especially if your asymptomatic and clinically well. a follow-up check up would be best. but you need not worry about anything.
hope this helps.
good day!!
