Need to hear from DS patients

I was wondering if you could tell me a little more about the DS surgery. I'm in the very begining process of getting RNY. I'm supposed to go on Monday for an all day apt to meet with several people. I had heard people mention DS but didn't really have a clue what it meant. I researced it tonight and I must say I am now terribly confussed as to what to do. I checked my clinics web site and they don't perform DS. I most likly could get a referral somewhere else with no problem. I'm wondering with the DS do you find it harder to stay away from "bad" foods? Does the smaller stomach ever stretch back out to what it once was? Is the calorie fat and carb intake cut down to about 50%? Do you get full quickly? Did the weight come off quickly? Any help or advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
