First of all let me say that you look awesome! Congrats.

Now if I remember correctly you have VSG with the band? Or plication with? So when they do the DS will they remove the band???

It was the band over plication. They will remove the band and I believe the sutures also. Then they will be able to do the DS as normal. I'm sure he'll do some testing pre op to see how the plicated stomach looks first. And thanks to you all for being so wonderful!

Congratulations on doing such a fabulous job with your weight loss. You look so beautiful! And I am so glad that you are able to get around and do the things you need to and want to do.

Many blessings on the second and final leg of your journey. If you can get the duodenal switch it would be the ideal surgery for you.

Best,
Leila
