Surgery scheduled with second thoughts

Research and find another surgeon that does the DS. My first surgeon told me to stay home and have the sleeve. Naw! Wasn't an option. Find someone else. He probably has never done the DS before. -
Stop counting calories! You malabsorb fat so when you don't get enough, you get constipated. You need to lube the machine.

For a DSer, you should increase your fat intake, check to ensure you're drinking enough fluids and watching your carb intake.

He only does 150 length. Period. He doesn't do the Hess method at all, but says it prevents too much malabsorption.
