Hi all,
I will be having a BPD/DS REVERSAL due to severe malabsorption in a few weeks. My DS is too severe, I have a 50 cm common limb Infusions, injections, 45+ pills- supplements/day, osteoporosis and scoliosis caused post DS. I have had to add more and more supplements-the malabsorption is too severe.

I know it's years out but any updates?
Hi! I am in the same boat! What did you end up finding out? I am talking to my doc on March 1st.
Oh man that's so frustrating! I think the feeling is different between the surgeries. So with the sleeve we feel super super full and then with the bypass you might not get that same exact feeling due to the way your "new" stomach is. From what I understand with out the valve on the bottom of the stomach you don't achieve the same stop full feeling if that makes sense.
I can attest to the grazing! I had lap band in 2010. It was defective. It sprung a leak, and the clip came off the port. In 2015 I revised to sleeve (against my doctor's recommendations of RNY.) Fast forward....I have had reflux since waking up from that surgery, and it is getting worse. I have finally started the process of going to RNY. It is going to be a long one due to safety reasons of other health issues. I am seeing a hematologist for a blood clotting disorder that is genetic. All of this stuff has come about since I hit 48 years old. I am now 52. We thought we had it under control, and I was taking eliquis. I was still recommended to get the covid vaccine and was told the eliquis would keep me safe. I got the moderna vaccine and within 1 week of the 2nd shot had blood clots in my popliteal and femoral veins of my right leg. I ended up on 120mg lovenox for 2 weeks and am now on warfarin. My surgeon says they deal with hypercoagulation every day, and there is absolutely no reason to delay moving forward, and I can be peaceful and confident about this decision, and I am. BUT the grazing is REAL!!! I look forward to meeting with the nutritionist to get tips to stop this! lol.
