Absolutely do not abuse too many drugs with the same effect in one day. Because their different medicinal properties may not be compatible with each other. You should first drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.

Really interesting concept! A pill that mimics gastric bypass for 24 hours without surgery could be a game-changer in weight loss treatment. Curious to see how it performs in larger human trials

Topic: RE: Duodenal Switch questions

First off, congrats on your progress so far?38 pounds down already is amazing, and it sounds like you?re totally crushing it on your journey! I had my duodenal switch a couple of years ago, and I?d love to share a bit about my experience. The surgery itself went pretty smoothly for me?honestly, the prep leading up to it felt more intense than the actual day! Pain-wise, it wasn?t as bad as I expected; I was sore for sure, but they kept me comfortable with meds, and walking around as soon as I could really helped. Pro tip: bring a pillow to hold against your stomach when you move?it?s a game-changer for that first week.

I totally get the anesthesia nerves?honestly, I was the same way! For me, it was over before I even knew it, and waking up was just kind of groggy but not scary. One weird thing after? My taste buds went haywire for a bit?some foods I loved before tasted off for a few weeks, which was wild! Definitely stock up on stuff you like that?s DS-friendly for after taking an iq test free.

After my surgery, the Dr. told me an egg a day keeps the diarrhea away. It seemed to work for me. I still get diarrhea at least a few times a month but only as part of normal bowel movements ... meaning no accidents.

I have been taking Pepto and various anti diarrhea medications multiple times a day. Is there a certain medication that works?

Thank you!

His advice is invaluable for anyone considering or living with DS: the surgery itself is just the beginning. The commitment to vitamins, supplements, and regular health monitoring is crucial, as he learned through personal experience. It's also a great reminder that support systems whether from doctors, friends, or online communities play a huge role in long-term success. Stickman Hook

Topic: Duodenal Switch questions

Hello,

I'm scheduled for duodenal switch surgery on January 13th and would love to hear from anyone who has gone through it. I'm curious about your experiences--how was the surgery for you, any important tips to know before or after, how did you manage the pain, and did you feel any unusual sensations afterward? I had my first appointment two months ago and have lost 38 pounds by my second appointment, so I feel like I'm on the right track. Honestly, I'm a bit nervous about the surgery itself. I've had two surgeries in the past, but I don't really remember them. It's not the surgery that worries me as much as the idea of being put under anesthesia; I know it sounds strange, but it's been on my mind.

Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated!
