Im not for sure what is ds surgery. I had lap bypass on. Every since I had my surgery I havent had a constistant stool. I think after wls you are not eating nothing like you use to. Good luck.

Not sure exactly what you mean by stool samples being consistant -- I think you mean your poop being the same day to day... I'll answer based on that. My poop is very different day to day based on my diet. The DS provides more of a malabsorption than the RNY and also my stomach is much larger than an RNY -- so because of that, I'm sure I poop a lot more than RNYers. I definately poop more than I did pre-op -- LOTS MORE! Pre-op I was cronically constipated, so I love going 2 or 3 times a day. I'm thrilled with my DS -- not only because of what I've lost, but my food choices are great. We could go out to eat and you'd never know I had WLS. You can get lots of great input by going to the DS Forum here on OH. Hope to see you there!
