I'm all set to go for October 11th!  Pre-ops are scheduled for Sept 27th.  Just 7 weeks away!  I'll have to do a liquid diet for 2 weeks.

I'm anxious with not knowing what to expect.  From what I've heard, sleeve to DS revisions lose slower.  I'm prepared for that.  I'm just trying to set reasonable goals for myself.  That's hard to do when the rate of loss is inconsistent for revisions.  I'll talk to my surgeon more about it when I see him next month.

I've had such a horrible summer so far.  I fell 7 weeks ago and broke my ankle so I've been in a cast (just got it off a week ago!).  At 345 pounds, healing has not been easy.  But thankfully I'm healing well.  I've stayed off my foot as much as possible.  This doesn't help with trying to be more active and losing a little weight before surgery. 

Just ready to get this done!!!!

Congradulaion..
Hi there My name is Sherri and I had the sleeve done August 4, 2009 and am struggling so bad. I lost 130 pounds and have gained 30 back. Can you tell me alittle about the DS revision. Does this help you get back on track?
If I don't talk with you good luck. Thank you Sherri

Check out dsfacts.com. The malabsorbtion helps. But the choices I make afterwards will be what is best. I still have at least 200 more pounds I need to lose. I need the added malabsorption to help me get to goal.

Good luck to you too!
