Yes! Greenbaum has many fans in the DS community.

Don't beat yourself up over this. While many do great with the sleeve, there are many more that need more than a reduced capacity to eat. The stretching is normal, but it's still nowhere near the original size of a stomach, so it's not you. It just wasn't enough for you.

The only vetted DS surgeon I know of is Dr. Dennis Smith in Celebration FL. To find out what is covered, get a copy of your explanation of benefits. If there is a one-per-lifetime rule for wls, it will be in there. It should also tell you what procedures are covered. If you are not seeing Dr. Dennis Smith - do make sure that this surgeon does an actual DS and not one of the hybrids (SIPS, SADI, LoopDS). Some of the unscrupulous surgeons will code them as DS to get you covered, but you are at risk if anyone reads their surgical report closely enough to notice that the details (one anamastosis instead of two) are not that of the approved DS. If insurance does notice this and refuses to pay for the surgery, the surgeon and hospital can sue you for that amount.

Do you still have a gallbladder? Gallbladder attacks usually occur a couple of hours after eating or drinking (especially fat and caffeine). It lasts a couple of hours and then eases back.

High protein, low carb, and walking 5-6 miles everyday!

Does anyone know if there are reasons why stomach pains / issues would occur and last over a period of days.
It makes killer grilled cheese! I got a sample pack too. I tried the 2 carb brownie and it was just OK. So far the superstar is the bread. I want to try the 'everything' bread! And the hotdog/hamburger buns.

Thank you so much for the tip, perfect timing for me because for the first time since my ds almost 7 years ago, I'm gaining weight. 
I have never watched my carbs but now it's started. I'm up 10 lbs and getting after it before it gets outa hand. I ordered a sample pack that includes hamburger buns too and recieved a 25% discount as a new customer.
Thanks again
Julie
