What "detox" pill do you take? I haven't heard of that. Thanks.
Now Probiotic, and my iron pills eliminated the gas and foul smell. Plus I take a detox pill daily along with my probiotic. I think since I need Iron, it solidify my BM...it does something but definitely take the air out the stomach

Hi everyone, June 30th will be my 9th year journey on this DS path. One of the best decision I have ever made for myself. It has allowed me to enjoy me, and LIFE a little bit better. My body lost all the weight I think it was best for my body, which was app 120lbs. But unfortunately I have gained and I wish I would have lost more in the beginning, but still look good. But in my opinion would not Have looked so good off me. But you know how we are when we look at the scale. Sometimes we would prefer the number on the scale to look less regardless if it does not look that great off us.
However, I want to know have anyone lost 10 pounds or more being 5 to 10 plus years out? If so please share how you lost the weight and how long did it take. I would love to lose 10 pounds in 30 days.
Thank you.

Thank you, the old mentality of dieting is hard to go away. My problem is I must take my Iron pills on a daily basis, and when I try to eat right I get constipated. I have to take a daily stool softener.
How can I lose and not be so constipated. Its only when i eat a bunch of sugar that makes my life easier.

Have you tried sending any of those you miss a PM? Sometimes that will draw someone out.
Also, activity on the boards seems to rise and fall for no apparent reason. It's the nature of forums and I'm guessing this format isn't as popular now that we have FB.

Hello people,
Even though I do not post often, I still visit this site regularly. Just for a long time now I have not seen the old vets including Major mom. Where is everybody?
I would at least talk to one of the experts in CA to see what the surgery would cost (I assume your insurance would pay something to a doctor out of network).
A friend of mine revised from RNY to DS and had so many complications following the surgery. She was in and out of the hospital constantly until her death. Her doctor was a quack and did not know what he was doing. Please do not become another victim.

Saw this on another site, it's a good read.

Hello All - In 2009 I had VSG and lost 200 pounds from 425 to 225 in about 13 months... after the initial year with the proper diet and exercise I settled in around 240 pounds and was very happy....I kept it off until 2013 and that's when I went through many difficult personal challenges and stop taking care of myself. I have regained about 30 pounds per year and now Im at 380 LBS. I have decided to do a self pay DS Loop with my original surgeon in about 4 weeks. Im excited yet terrified of failure again and complications with my body and mind. I have found it hard to find facts on projected weight loss and long term success going VSG to DS Loop ? He will also be re doing my sleeve as well. Any advice, thoughts, support, weight loss projections would be very helpful. I know that all of this has been asked before but I really appreciate the support, Thank You
I agree with Larra.
