5 Day Pouch Test
I'm not trying to insult your intelligence, you were the one who couldn't understand why people were hung up on the word pouch versus sleeve. If you had read my prior post you'd understand why I and others clarified the difference.
Your post indicates that you didn't even try to see anyones point of view other than your own. If you find that insulting, oh well. It shows what kind of person you are as well.
No one surgery is better than the other, what works for one may not work for another.

Regardless of who is right or wrong, medical journals refer to the stomach as a pouch and the procedure as Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, confusing for some. I am not offended by the opinions of others and find it amusing that faced with fact some are not able to get past that the stomach in the end is a pouch and is referred to as such regardless of procedure. While I am only 19 months post op I am not a newbie. Prior to WLS I was a type 2 diabetic with HBP, on 6 medications, including insulin and I remain off all medications to this day. I have spent the last year going to the gym a minimum of 3-5 days a week. I run 5 k's and am in great shape, my abs are really close to showing themselves! I play Hockey in the winter and am doing things I was not able to do for years. I applaud everyone who has overcome obesity. The 5DPT worked for me and that in the end, is all that matters to me.
