Thinkin' about revising to a DS

I'm just starting my research into revising my VSG to the DS. I have lost 85 pounds but have been stalled since July. I would like to lose another 60 - 80 pounds. I'm meeting with my surgeon on Friday to discuss my options... My questions for those that have done the second part of the DS surgery:

How long was your recovery?

How is the weight loss?

Are you happy you made this decision?

Thank you so much for any answers, support or advise.

There are a few 2-part DSrs but I'm not sure if they post here any more. They may be on the Facebook private group or proboards. Let me know if you want the links.

Could you send me one also? I'm the person who went in for a DS but due to adhesions/scar tissue, woke up with a VSG. My surgeon is now thinking he can revise the VSG to the DS.

Thanks in advance,
Carol

Me Too! I am so glad to see your post..... I had the Vsg 14 months ago...lost about 78 pounds and I've been stuck for the past 5 months...My interview with the nurseline is today and if everything goes well I'm meeting with my Doctor as well. I too would like to know of a forum of people who went from VSG to the DS.... Good Luck!

The forum has a lot of DSrs on it and some are 2-part or VSG to DS revisions. Hang on, sending you a PM. :)
