LB to VSG to DS???
Hi!
I had the Lap Band in 2008. Lost about 13 lbs and gained back 17 lbs.
I had the VSG in 2009. Lost about 30 lbs and gained back 15 lbs.
Looking into getting the DS switch. Is it a good idea to do that? I have really been doing my best not to eat carbs, but I'm struggling so much, cause I'm having a whole lot of stress, going through menopause, have to much Testamone, I go to carbs for comfort. I'm not a discipled VSGer as most VSGers. I am going to a Therapist right now, just started with my first session. She told me that I had a lot of trauma in my life and that is the reason why I eat the carbs.
I wish that I had the DS from the beginning. I had to pay for the VSG, BCBS Federal would not cover the VSG. I hope they will cover the DS if I decide to go that way.
I'm going to try to work with my VSG. However, if I do all that I'm supposed to do and still not lose any more weight, I'm going to seriously consider the DS.
Any comments or thoughts?

unfortunetly there is no surgery that allows you to eat simple carbs at will, with the DS 100% of simple carbs are absorbed, so that would not help you either. A DSer stays away from carbs, eating good quality proteins first, then fats, and if room low carb, complex carbs. as a DSer you have to be very disciplined, making sure you eat your protein first, eating carbs first could be detrimental to your health,,,wishing you well
