Failure is only a fact when you give up. Everyone gets knocked down, the question is: Will you get back up?

I like the frog part. I at first thought that mine was a bit froggy but now he is just a plain prince to me. He is a sweetie once you get to know him.
Please post often so we can get to know you and you us. We laugh, cry and everything inbetween here on OFF and we totally accept everyone for who they are.
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
when i first told my hubby that i wanted wls he was disturbed as he had friends who also had stapling done in the 80's and died...needless to say things have improved...
you will find the right doc--you are NOT a failure....
I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Jean, hi there!
Revisions take a great level of expertise. Please post this same message on the Duodenal Switch forum. It is very important to choose what you want for the rest of your life.
Good luck on your search, Jean!

With the DS: there is no stoma, so no stoma strictures; there are no limitations (other than volume) against drinking before, during or after meals; 80% of ingested fat is malabsorbed; 98.9% of type II diabetics are CURED of this devastating disease, with data showing stable cure over 10 years out; there is the best average weight loss and most durable (average 76% excess weight loss going out 10 years) of all of the bariatric surgeries. That's why I had a DS!
