I'm sorry you had (and are still having) such a hard time of it. It sounds like your surgeon had a hard time too! Good for him for completing your DS despite all the scar tissue.

Hang in there. It will get better! The weight gain is fluids and will rapidly come off once you "turn the corner". And then the real weight loss will start. The bowel stuff will also settle down with time. The DS really is a powerful weight loss and metabolic operation and you just haven't had a chance to experience the benefits yet, but you will.
