Anyone here that had a BPD and has revised to a DS or has had a pouch reduction since orig...
I did not respect the surgery or the post op instructions, and this is why I'm back here. Im older, wiser and know this is my last chance at a healthier life, so Im not going to drop the ball on this. The revision will be that he will reduce the size of my current pouch, thats it. My pouch was left rather large, but in 2000, thats what they did, and its stretched as well, so hopefully its just a new staple line. No other mods neccessary. Thanks
Doing great. Surgery 1/16 or so, 2 day stay in hospital. I'm down 40 lbs, I had ZERO complications, no gas issues, no vomiting. I have protein/calcium shake I'm am, and maintain 100 gr protein and 8 glasses of water a day. Exercise most days. This week I started weening myself off shakes so I get all protein thru food, Doing ok with it. No regrets.
