I 've done the research and DS is most complex WLS bcz it is combination of two types of WLS. Other surgeries are realistic than DS for someone with extra 60 or 70 lb. I think...
I'm not suggesting you get a DS because you need to lose weight, I'm suggesting that the DS, specifically the intestinal part, would be the most effective treatment/prevention for diabetes. You would ALSO lose weight, but the focus would be treatment of an illness.
Not necessarily the OP, but yes, in some cases, I'd even suggest the DS to someone of a normal weight. There are surgeons in Europe who do the intestinal portion of the DS on non-obese diabetics, simply to (very successfully!) treat their disease. It's not just a one-trick pony.
