Gastric Staple to DS Revision - has anyone had this?
I'm looking for anyone who had a gastric staple and then a DS. I had a gastric staple in 1980. I kept the weight off for seven years, then gained it all back and then some. Two years ago, I had a DS. I dropped from 282 to 155. I was at 155 in mid-January of this year. I kissed 155 and then it was like a switch turned on and I've been hungry ever since. I want to find out if anyone else has had this kind of a problem. Right now, it feels like I'm actually having more trouble with dieting than I had before the DS. I'm very sad and want to know if there is anything I can do about this.

check out dsfacts.com you will find all the info you need & yes many will be there who were revised from the staple. I plan to do it myself and am just reading everything I can find here and also DS profiles and their links & statistics of success and I am very encouraged with it all. I havent chosen a surgeon yet but am reading their websites now. They have a list of surgeons that do those revisions. Good luck & keep in touch . .
