Hi. I am also in the process with the Bathurst hospital. Also from Moncton. Hope everything went well for you!!
What is considered shakes? I drink three protein drinks. It could be a pre-ready shake, a protein clear drink or protein power and water/ milk, bone broth
Do those all qualify?
There is a girl on our secret fb group that just had this done :) Friend me Alicia McKnight.
Has anyone had this done in NB? My removal is tomorrow with Dr Beausoleil. 11 years post op. Wondering what recovery is like? Thanks!
Hi Henry, I am 4.5 years out from my VSG which I hadwith DR B at the Georges Dumont in Dec 2013. My highest weight was 420. I got down to 240 with the VSG but at about 2.5 years out I was back up to 270 and yo yo dieted for a year before deciding to have the DS. I had the DS one year ago in July with Dr T at the Georges Dumont and I have lost 90 more lbs putting me at 180. I have 10 more lbs to loose before I go for skin removal surgery which will probably land me at around 155-160 which is my exact target weight for my height. I am so happy I had the DS, I have had some ups and downs but wouldn't change getting it for a minute!

Has anyone had the duodenal switch after having the sleeve years before?
If so, do you feel it was worth doing or more of an inconvenience vs the benefits?
I am booked for the DS on the 21st of August and really trying to decide if I still want to go through with it.
I have had great success with the Sleeve itself from 440 down to 265 but have went back up to 299. but then I was referred for the DS and wasn't sure if I wanted it so I used Isagenix to get myself back down to 245 from the 299 within 6 months(which took me off the DS list). But Isagenix costing 1000 a month for my wife , Daughter and I became to expensive, so we stopped. Now I am back to 295.
Interestingly enough with the IsaGenix, my energy was so high that I ended up working out too much and injured my foot. I was literally running 5KM\day -6 days a week. In the past year I feel like I haven't got much for energy at all, and while running daily I was a much happier(not a grumpyol fart) person..
If people had great success with the DS after the sleeve then woohoo - but if the benefit isn't really there I may just have to suck up the expense of IsaGenix and give it another go.
Thanks
Update - still in pain and Dr B gave cortisone shot end of March with no results. I've asked to have the band removed as I am now doing keto, have dropped 40 lbs and believe I can handle life without the band. I can surely handle life without the pain.
Sorry, that's right......it's secret.... Send Alicia McKnight a message and say you are from this web page and that you want to join the FB page. I will let her know that you will be sending her a message....
