Finally have my surgery date for SIPS/Loop DS
GigiNFortWorth replied to GigiNFortWorth's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
Hello, my surgeon is dr Ayoola in Denton tx... I didn’t have to wait for insurance approval since I am disabled and on Medicare, pre-approval is not required. I am a diabetic and the sleeve did not help me at all, also regained half of what I lost. I am so excited but nervous as well! The sleeve was a breeze, so Hoping this is just as easy. -

Finally have my surgery date for SIPS/Loop DS
GigiNFortWorth posted a topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
Excited but nervous! I will be having a revision from the sleeve to the Loop/SIPS. My surgeon will be removing my gall bladder, fixing my hernia and then doing the Loop DS. Has anyone had all 3 of these done together? It just seems like so much! Thanks! 😊 -

I did this surgery to resolve my diabetes and that never happened. I chose the wrong surgery, my surgeon even advised me to do the DS or the Loop DS. Everyone is metabolically made up differently, and therefore the outcome of the surgery is different for each person. My A1C is now worse than it has ever been, so yes.. I regret having the sleeve.
