Awesome thus far! It's exciting when we come to terms to have weight loss surgery because it's not easy. In my case I am revision patient from and gastric bypass to DS. My bypass was done in 6/06 and I was pregnant in 2/07 I gained 42lbs back got pregnant again so that was a total of 4 can sections , gallbladder removal and a spinal fusion. My starting weight was 219 day of surgery today I am 211 I really have NO PAIN I walked every hour 10 times in the hospital and drank water which help with my bowl movement the second day and release of gas as well so the pca was gone that day I only had liquid pain meds. I also had so much scar tissue that more of my intestine had to be removed because it was attached to my abdominal wall. I am having problems with room temperature and cold water and suggestions

Hello my Dr. Fang at the bridges center was my surgeon and I am so Blessed to have had a experienced compassionate surgeon. My surgery started out lap and he had to do it open I have about a 4 in open scar due to all the scar tissue. I started the process back in October; his colleague Dr. Juarez I am not a fan of his is so rude he discharged me on New Years day and must have had a hang over but I didn't care I told him he is not going to talk to me any kind of way. Then just so happens he was the on call physician when I developed thrush and asked did what did I want him to do Duh fool! But anyway I walk 2 miles a day still can't drink a lot I am very nauseous they ran test I have no leaks or anything in fact the radiologist that checked my gastric bypass pouch checked afterwards and complimented Dr. Fang on doing such a good job. I knew it wouldn't be easy but it all worked out. Good luck are you in the Phoenix area?

I had the gastric bypass in 2006 I lost a total of about 87 lbs and gained 50 back. I them consulted with a surgeon that does revisions of the bypass(RNY);so on Monday I had the duodenal switch done my and everything we well I had a lot of scar tissue but during my preoperative test he found out my pouch wasn't small enough to start with. You can lose 60percent of your bmi faster with the ds. I would definitely recommend if you haven't reached your goal if you google gastric bypass revision to ds there is a lot of information. I just got home yesterday and I can send you information on here or pm your email. I have lost almost 10lbs since Monday

Thank you!! How has your weight loss going

I would like to meet more members that had the DS or revision from RNY to DS. I am in Arizona and my doctor has been outstanding from the beginning to the end. I had my revision 12/29 ; preoperative testing on 12/17 then postoperative testing 12/30 to check for leaks . The radiologist said he did a wonderful job on my surgery especially since I had a ton of scar tissue. I want to get meal ideas and chat with more people. Also they say there was no good Duodenal switch doctors in Arizona which wasn't true there was a lady the travel outside of AZ to come here for her surgery. Good luck to your weight loss journey and your decision

OK I am just on my preoperative diet but want to be prepared. I'm glad everything was a success

Congratulations!!! I am scheduled to have my surgery Monday Dec 29. I have to say that premiere protein is good. I tried a lot of different ones but the chocolate is good plus you get 30 grams of protein

I am scheduled to have the DS on December 29th.I had the bypass in 06 but my pouch was not the correct size when the had to stretch it. I ended up only losing 50lbs so I am having a revised bypass with a ds because my bmi is 40 and not good for the bacj surgery I just had
