Anyone out there NOT lose weight with the DS?
You had a good surgeon. I remember when I corresponded with Dr. Gagner a few years ago about adding the DS to my sleeve, he said I could expect to drop around 8-10 more BMI points with it. (As a second stage). But, it sounds like you weren't that heavy to begin with, so it's probably not as great for you.
Have you tried the whole protein/fat only type plan for a week or so to see if that kick starts things? If a week seems too long, can you try one day, two days, three? Just to see if it has any effect?
Also...as a reminder...even if you never lose a pound, you still have to keep up with your blood work, vitamins, etc. I know that with my VSG, when I started to regain...I kind of delayed having my annual blood work. I did finally get it done, but I was about 8 months late. Not as serious with a VSG (although I still had D, PTH, and B12 issues)....but had it been a DS, could have been more severe. :)
Good luck. :)
Lap-Band June 14, 2001. Dr. Rumbaut, Monterrey, Mexico.
Lap-Band removed after 7 years and converted to Sleeve Gastrectomy on July 7, 2008 by Dr. Roslin. I've had three happy healthy Lap-Band babies.... and one VSG baby. 5 years out from revision to VSG. Gained 55 pounds in past 5 months, now considering DS. :(
