Your #1 Advice Tip
Hello all you former DS'ers! I'm having surgery in 2 weeks and feeling a bit overwhelmed with reading all the advice, tips, regimens etc. I will absolutely follow my drs orders no matter what! Just was curious if u could give me your #1 advice tip to make my post surgery outcome run smoothly, what would it be? And yes I know everyone is different, so don't give me that. Curious to what your #1 tip would be based on your experience! Holla!!!

Research. Always question your Doctor about post-op care. (not the first 2 months but more about what you do after you heal). A great surgeon doesn't necessarily make for a good post-op Doctor. Ask a lot of questions about post-op lifestyle. If your Doc does more RnY/VSG than the DS ask about the differences between an RnY post op and a DS post op.

OK, following on from what Pete said, you need a vetted DS surgeon. You can view a list here http://www.dsfacts.com/duodenal-switch-surgeons.html#.UpzHz8 Q5mzM
Sorry, I took it as read that getting a vetted DS surgeon is imperative.

I don't know about anyone else,but I am not a " former" DS er ,I still AM a dser and always will be.
The best advice I can give you is get a vetted surgeon and second best piece is stay away from ALL carb,even the so called good ones. They will stall / stop your loss and give you nasty gas and a belly ache.
