I would love to hear what you have to say, I am looking at this as a possibility and want to hear your thoughts and experiences. Thanks, Lisa
I'm not sure what all you want to know. I had rny and stopped losing weight after 6 months. After working with my surgeon he decided to revise me to a distal rny. I only lost 36 more pounds but ended up with reactive hypoglycemia. Fought insurance and won in order to be revised to ds. It wasn't an easy thing and I actually thought my weight loss was over once I reached 173 pounds. I was ok with this because I figured once I had plastics I would be able to reach 165 which was my goal that I decided I would be okay with once I saw that I wasn't losing the way that I thought I would be. Well I had plastics and removed 6.5 pounds which took me to 166.5 but for some reason I started losing weight again. As of this morning I weigh 132 pounds and I'm 5'5.5! Do I absolutely hate the way my gas and bms smell? Definitely! Have I had a couple of accidents with diarrhea? Yep. Would I have the DS again in a heartbeat? You bet! Absolutely positively yes!

wow Monique, you have been through a lot! Congratulations on your success!
Ok, so the smelly poop thing... does that deodorizer that you drop in the toilet bowl actually work?
I'm thinking of the ladies room at work.... Thanks for your input, I appreciate the reply

Just a drop didn't work for me. The funny thing is that I usually don't care at work in the restroom. I just try to move really quick to where nobody knows it's me :)
