I am rather new around here and am 2 weeks away from my DS. Here is my comment:


I have been to 8 DS support groups within the last 10 months and not one person regrets getting their DS surgery! When I read through online forums it seems the same way, even the few who had complications from the surgery said that they would do it all over again in a minute because their quality of life is now so much better. When I read the boards about the other types of weight loss surgery the people are not as happy with their surgery. RNY'ers are complaining that they can't eat this or can''t eat that or they are dumping etc. Then the Lap band people, wow, I don't even know where to start with them....lets just say that many of them call it the CRAP BAND!

DianaCox said it best and if you do your homework before deciding on your surgery I am sure that you will agree with her as well. Nutrition is very important after DS as well as it is after RNY but the nutrition needs are not the same, Some nutritionist do not understand this so you have to be the type of person who is willing to invest the time to learn and follow through with your nutritional needs and then follow up with the lab work to see where you are. This is not hard but it is something that you must be willing to do before considering the DS surgery.

    My DS surgery is coming up in two weeks and this story in no way is going to change my mind, I have done my homework on weight loss and know that the DS is the very best that is available!

I posted. I'm not as eloquent as Diana and the others, but I tried to put a diabetic "face" and appeal to my post.
When push comes to shove....shove hard!

       

Never regret anything, because at one time it was exactly what you wanted.
