Duodenal Switch (Ds)

[andreagoeldner 2]

Hi all, I am new here and I don't know if this is where I need to be or if someone can recommend another app for me to try. Here is my story: I am a 31 year old and I have decided to have a DS either in September or October. I have done nearly all of the pre-op requirements and have only one visit left with the dietitian in September and next week I meet with the surgeon for the last time. I have done my psych eval and my other dietitian appointments and any necessary bloodwork or testing required by my doctor. I was also told that I need to lose 15 lbs before they will schedule me for surgery. At my last dietitian visit, I was down 12 in two and a half weeks. I'm doing a lot of walking and eating mostly Protein. I also have been using myfitnesspal app to track my intake and that seems to help. I guess I don't have any specific questions at this time. I would love to hear from anyone about their own experiences as well as any hints or suggestions you may have for me.

Good luck! Sounds like you've already put in alot of time and effort. I can offer no advice since I'm new also and awaiting my surgery. It is nice to see so many people who share similar experiences. I hope you are feeling great and have much success!

Welcome to the group. Your in the right group & we accept all. I think there was one member that decided surgery wasn't for her & we didnt judge or anything. We support each other here no matter what.
