Hi karen, I remember your weightloss story and I remember you. Sorry it took me so long to return your comment but life is pretty busy these days and not much online time for me(smiles) I am writing because i understand you have regained your weight. And you think having the Ds will be of help. Well guess what I have regained some weight too about 60lbs. I have done well with the Ds as a weightloss tool but what i failed to do was change my eating habits. Weightloss surgery alone will not cure obesity as i have found out myself. So i really don't encourage having more surgery. However i do encourge examination of the eating habits. What i have discovered is that i have to find a way to eat less and exercise more. Because without exercise and less suger intake weightloss surgery will soon fail. It is only a tool that helps the process it will not cure the process. Lately i have decided to venture out into the research of the foods i eat and i have found that the foods I eat are making me fat. I know this because as soon as i decided to change my eating habits and do some daily walking for exercise the weight began to drop off again! Over the past few months i have been on a raw food adventure. i encourage you to do some reserch into this way of eating and see if it will also help you. i know it will so i am going to direct you to some websites that can help with the process. Please do this for yourself you owe it to yourself to try to change your eating habits before cutting yourself again. The DS is a very dramatic and dangerous surgery. if i had found raw food eating before surgery i would not have had the surgery/because without changing your eating habits the surgery will eventually fail. So please do some research on these websites before you decide to have the surgery, take it form someone who has tried both, and they both work but changing the way you view food and exercise will prolong your life. so check o ut these websites http://www.rawfoodbootcamp.com/index.php http://www.rawfoodtalk.com/ http://www.rawschool.com/ http://www.welikeitraw.com/rawfood/before_after/index.html -- www.sharonb.net
