I've heard that some people add it to coffee as well. I make my own "Iced Coffee" with decaf and chocolate Premier Protein. Make and chill the coffee, chill Protein drink, add 2 packets of Splenda, coffee and about 1/4 to 1/3 chocolate protein drink and ice. Tastes great!

MY RNY DIDN'T FAIL ME - I FAILED IT.
I'm from Hamilton. I had an RNY in 2011 and lost approx. 120 lbs. Over the past 4-5 years, I have regained about 80 lbs. Now I'm heading for revision surgery. The only way to get a DS is to have a sleeve. As far as I know, DS is not/cannot be done to an RNY. Dr. Hong is the only one there that does the revision surgery (RNY to Sleeve) - he also did my RNY. About 8 - 12 months later, I'll see if I need the DS.
If you haven't had the RNY, I don't see why they're recommending the sleeve first, unless there are other issues that you haven't mentioned or don't know about (scarring from the band, other co-morbidities). You need to trust your doctor to give you what you need, not what you want.
If you do end up switching to Hamilton, you should know that the appointments are not at the hospital (downtown) but up on the mountain (West 5th & Fennell). You will need to take a bus there from the GO Station. Surgeries are done at the hospital.
Good luck whichever way you go.

Did you have the DS loop (SIPS)? Or was it a full DS? Any regrets? What is your current status in your weight loss journey? Thanks.
Hi, I'm in the same position you were in. Did you end up getting a re-sleeve in addition to DS? My doctor doesn't want to resleeve me but I feel like I can eat way too much and don't want to get a DS loop if it won't work.

I was not a fast loser but who cares as long as you get there! I know the newbies check the trackers and the signatures so although I kind of lost track of how the rest of the weight came off, you should know that it was not fast and furious but it was slow and steady!
current BMI 24.7 that, my friends, is NORMAL!!! Strong is the new pretty!

I don't post much other than to tout my clothing exchanges lately but I'm finally going for a breast reduction with my preferred surgeon, Dr. Kreidstein. My initial appointment is Feb.28th.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this surgery with him and how you felt about it after the fact?
