I trying joined the gym it seems that scince I had a iron infusion Im snacking on food instead of ice.

I've seen oodles over the years getting their DS "finished".

Some docs will only do the DS in two parts or the SMO. Sleeve first for a year or 100lb loss, then finish the DS thereafter. It was by this process that they realized that some people never needed the DS and the sleeve stood on its own.

For the rest of us though, we need to change the way our body metabolizes food, and the DS does that.

Asking for a friend?

Actually my sister :) Her starting weight 400 lbs current weight 300 lbs. She's lost about 100 lbs with the sleeve after 1 year, but stopped cold after about 6 months, has just maintained since. It's like it's just stopped, would like to lose another 100. She's a cancer survivor and has an autoimmune disease, thinking is this might be some (not all) of the problem.

Has anyone done a sleeve to DS and what kind of results did you see? She has a appointment next week with a different surgeon who does only DS. Any comments appreciated.

Thanks

Diarrhea can be a side effect of Flagyl. Of course, it didn't start the problem as you already had diarrhea, but once you discontinue the Flagyl, the diarrhea may improve. I would at least give this a chance before doing something as major as a revision. After 50 days of suffering I can understand your desire for relief, but keep in mind that with less (or no) malabsorption, you may find yourself regaining weight. For me, I would try everything else short of revision before taking that risk.
