Hello, I am new to the group. I had my sleeve done back in 2013 and am now going to get the DS-SIPS procedure. While i know this form of the procedure is fairly new, i know there has to be someone who can answer questions for me, or give me insight, that has had the surgery more than a year...at least two years i'm hoping! Everyone i talk to or have seen in this group just got the surgery, and the responses, rants, concerns, and results are all over the place, leaving me a bit cloudy minded to say the least, lol..
Just wondering:
*what are your feelings toward having the procedure done after a year or more? any regrets? why?
*Are you still having to take an insane amount of vitamins as u did when u first got the surgery? does it seem like your nutritional values gets easier to maintain? or harder?
*are you able to drink liquor at all? have you traveled with your surgery? (i go to cancun every year, thats why i am asking about liquor, lol)
* wats the best pre-op diet? i hear many different responses to what diet they first give you right after surgery...
* have you had any health issues that you feel were a result of this surgery?
I ask that you please be VERY honest in answering any of these questions. While i know the surgery seems like a good option rite now,i just want to know if long term this will be a good option for me...thanks in advance for any help and advice anyone gives me at this point...
