I tried that and got nowhere. The person who answered had no idea, so I asked her if there was anyone else who might be able to help. She put me on hold and came back and said that they do SIPS but that's all they know.

I'm in the NY area and went to Dr. Mitch Roslin at Lennox Hill Hospital. He has done a thousand plus DS and SIPs procedures, and recommends the SIPs in most cases due to the lower risks. Many of the original DS posters on this site are also former patients.
Even if you are not in the NY area, you can call his office and ask for a recommendation for a qualified surgeon closer to you.
Have you been tested for H-pyloric?

WOW!! 117# Gone
Lost it and then gained it back. Most of the regain people start gaining back around the 2 year mark. One of them started out fat, lost it with surgery, gained it all back, lost it AGAIN, and than gained it all back again.
My theory is that so little is bypassed in a standard proximal RNY that by the second year the body has adapted to the bypass and the regain begins. At least that has been my observation.

I'm curious to know of the people in your office who had bypass, did they lose their weight and gain it back? If so, were they able to keep it off for any length of time? Or did they not lose much to begin with? Obviously it's up to the person to keep it off but I've seen SO MANY conflicting statistics on long term weight loss for bypass so I'm just curious.
I still diet pretty much constantly. I can gain weight. The DS makes it manageable. Much easier than it was before. Much!

O really do not care who you are, what you are or what you do for a living. You are inconsequential.
Bye Bye birdie.
I don't call it dieting. I call it making better food choices. I do not experience the misery that I did when I was dieting before DS, constant hunger, brain fog, headache, craving, etc. What's different? I can eat whenever I want, respond immediately to hunger by grabbing real food, not just a carrot and celery, and I don't have to worry about fat calories. A ham and cheese roll-up, a taco without the shell, a handful of cashews, a chicken thigh, these are all snacks I have had in the last few days. I don't formally count carb calories, but I know the portion I can eat. I still eat them when the family has rice or potatoes, just about one third of what they do. I am not attacking my bounce-back weight (15 pounds after 13.5 years), but if I see a few additional pounds hanging around after vacation or a holiday, I can just make better food choices. No uncontrolled hunger needed. If only there was a surgery that would allow unlimited consumption of candy!
