DS Surgery
Can someone please honestly give me some negative of DS?
I am not trying to be negative in seeking this particular WLS, but I have read all the great things of DS....I have yet to hear any negative things about DS.
I surely have heard things about RNY.
So please let me know if any negatives, that you would like to share with a possible DSer.
Please and Thank you

I replied to your same post on this on the DS Forum.
As far as I know, I am the ONLY active Illinois forum poster who has the DS. (Yes, it's awkward, but I handle it somehow, LOL!)
Seriously, if you'd like to meet up, let me know. I love telling people about the amazing, life-saving delicious duodenal switch!

Please, take Nicolle up on the invite to meet. It really makes a big difference when you actually know someone who has gone through what you will be going through. She is a wealth of information, and just an amazing person.
I spend a lot of time in Chicago, and a couple weeks ago Nicolle & I had dinner with a pre-op DSer (her date is coming up soon!), her cousin (who is going to be a great support person for her), and another woman who's PCP recommended the DS --- if the woman wanted to save her eyesight. Lots of good questions and exchange of information in that informal setting. And, sitting there for a couple hours, you can be assured that any normal DSer doesn't stink, and you can watch what we eat.

Normal BMI (24.9) = 159#: would have to compromise my muscle mass to get here without plastics, so this is not a goal.

I thought you were having the RNY in a couple of weeks?

Every opinion we share, every favor we perform, every moment we intently listen to someone talk about themselves is our opportunity to pass along something positive to a person who needs us.
