I am back...
I am doing very well. In fact I am surprised at how well I am doing. I went to a surgeon who does not perform the procedure lap. This was fine with me. I thought that it was safer for me at my weight--less chance of complications IMO. I am on regular food....whatever sounds good I eat it as long as it is protein.
The DS could be covered by your insurance...it is just how much you are willing to fight for it. Medicare covers it and that really helps so other insurance companies now have found that they can no longer always win appeals. Keep fighting for what you want....the DS truly does have the best results for weight loss and keeping it off long term. Especially in people with BMI over 50.

Diane I will have
(my 5 yeat old had to add those smileys in) a few differences to deal with. The differences will be that I have a normal functioning stomach. I have no stoma and no pouch, which in turns means no dumping. I will have to follow a higher protein, higher fat diet in order to maintain a weight loss. I will rmalabsorb 80% of fats 50 % of protein and 50% of complex carbs. However, I will absorb 100% of all sugars from regular carbs and of course refined sugars. If you have any other questions let me know. Oh, and I should meniton I have a vitamin regimen that I need to follow....just like RNY but maybe a few more.
