Ds
I'm guessing your post was edited because it just says "DS"... but...
I had my DS in March 2011, and I went from a BMI of 68 to 26 (after skin removal, it will be approximately a 24 BMI.) I've maintained this loss without a single pound of regain, and I still have moderate restriction and malabsorption. I do take vitamins every day but it's not even a slight issue at all. Such a great trade!
If you need information on the DS, I'd recommend going to our forum or going to the DSFacts.com webpage. It's such a fantastic tool for people who have high BMIs. Every single day I'm so amazed at how much I've changed, and I have zero fear of returning to my previous size. It is quite simply the best thing I have ever done for myself.
