The nurse just came in to give us an update. The constriction was the Ladd's bands, as expected, and they were removed with no damage to the duodenum or loss of any bowel. He said that Andrew has a paricularly kinky intestine, but they were straightening things out where they could.
They've added the G-tube and are currently placing his intestines in their new location. They are discussing whether he needs the fundoplication to protect against future reflux, but haven't decided to do it (yet). They've just started wrapping up, which means it could still be a couple of hours, but he's done quite well to this point and things are going quicker than expected.
I'll post another update when he's out, probably after we've gone in to see him.
