Question for the Veteran DS'ers
Is there an option for him to tighten you a little without taking down the full VBG? How's your restriction compared to a normie? I feel I eat loads but when I go to a restaurant that's when I realize I don't quite eat like a normal person (skipping the carbs is a lot easier for me as I don't have the space).

Hi there! There is actually a study out there on this by a doc named Noyes. It's the only one I was able to find. If you can't find it, ask Dina Mcbride on FB. I know she has it or can get it. Here's the scoop according to Noyes. He did a group of patients with the intestinal part of the DS only. Speaking of the group as a whole, they were done with VERY short common channels, 50cm. The group did lose on an average 30lbs and then gained it all back over the next 2 years. And that's it as far as weight loss goes.
I would be very skeptical of this procedure unless I had very little weight to lose.
My H had this done to cure his type 2 diabetes. His BMI was about 27 when he had surgery so Dr. Baltasar did nothing to his stomach. H went exactly the way of the study. Lost 30lbs and then gained it back. Now H did eat as he pleased and he did say it was easy to control his weight. All he had to do was cut back for a few days and the pounds would drop off.
