Question:
WHAT IS ALL OF THE "POOP" TALK AND ISSUES WITH THE DS?

ARE THE POOP PROBLEMS AS BAD AS PEOPLE SAY AND IS IT WORTH IT?    — Lisa L. (posted on January 22, 2010)

Bad propaganda. It's only bad if you choose to eat foods you aren't supposed to -- which is equivalent to dumping in RNY.

Some people have real problems with this no matter what they eat. but yeah its worth it. I would not want to keep all that weight. Everyone though is differant it is not a process for the weak.

I've had really bad problems with constipation since my RNY - but I would do it again in a nano-second!!

Highly dependent on the individual. I had the DS (150cm common channel) and I battle constipation issues frequently. All the poop horror stories you hear are mostly from uneducated people who haven't had the procedure themselves. If you want an honest assessment, post your question to the DS forum message board. I've only heard of a handful of folks who poop a lot everyday.
