Question:
can anyone tell me about life with the DS surgery ?

I'm planning on having the DS surgery and I was wondering if anyone could tell me about life with the DS surgery good or bad I would also like to hear from patients who managed to keep the weight off long term ( over 7yrs )and those who regret getting it and wish they had rny. I beleive the DS is what I am looking for being that I am told you can never gain a lot of the weight back anybody know how many pounds is normal to gain back with the DS and also do the patient loose nearly 90 0/0 of the weight I was told this is the surgery if you want to manintain a normal weight much love.    — TANGIE B.
