2 Part DS (VSG to DS)
Hi all..
just wanted to do some research regarding whether anyone has had the DS done in 2 parts? I went to Mexico with an intention of having a DS but due to my heart complications during surgery came out with a VSG - this was in Feb 2011 earlier this year.
I have lost quite a bit of weight being 7 mths post-VSG now but am starting to worry about maintenance without the malabsorption which the DS would've offered. I'd like to know if there are folks with similar experience, also can they do a DS (the malabsorption part only) for someone with a much lower BMI now since weight has come off with the VSG thus far. Also, how has your success been with continued weight loss and maintenance after having this done in 2 surgeries?
Thanks for any input you can provide

There are folks on the DS board that have had their DS done in 2 parts. You would get more feedback by posting over there!!!
BTW, how was Ungson as a surgeon? Did you like him? Keep all of us posted!!!!!
