Just had my surgery on July 9, 2013
Hello Everyone!
I'm a newbie to this site. I live in Southern Maryland, Calvert County to be exact. I had my surgery on July 9, 2013 with Dr. Afram in Washington DC. Its been a rough week, with a few scares in between, but I am finally starting to feel better with each day. I had my first post op appointment today and I have lost 9 pounds. Woohooo!
Good luck to us all on this journey.

WOW Ginny, that's amazing. I am in the evaluative process with Kaiser. I am looking at the different types of surgeries. I think i want the DS but i don't believe Kaiser offers it. Sorry you had some difficulty with the surgery and pray continued healing for you. I am in the Fort Washington, MD area.
Duodenal Switch Surgery. I am still in the process of deciding which surgery. I just have the concern of vitamin deficiency issues with Gastric bypass but I haven't ruled it out yet.
Btw - I am glad to have someone to talk to about this Thanks for sharing your experience.
