lovemybody 10 Posted March 4, 2016 Thank you so much for your advice. I really do appreciate it. I am nervous for tomorrow morning but excited as well. Have you found any books that were helpful with the nutrition side of things or general recipes. Amazon has a lot of books but not sure which one is better than the other. Here you go! Link I can also email you the documents my surgeons and DS nutrits. give us. They include sample meal plans, what to eat when, vits/minerals, etc. If you're interested, PM me with your email addy. Surgery went better than expected. I had no nausea, or real pain, I did have problems with my oxygen levels so I came home with a machine. Its now 4 days post op and I have a pain under my rib cage that makes it difficult to breathe deep breaths. I am not running any fevers nor do I feel sick to my stomach just very uncomfortable. I walk a little bit each day and I am grateful I took two weeks off. Still wearing the support wrap because it helps with the mobility. Thanks for the link, I will check it out in the next day or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peggy D 124 Posted March 8, 2016 For the OP, If I had it to do over & the single-anastomosis duodenal switch had been available when I had my sleeve in 2013, I probably would have done that rather than the sleeve. The amount of malabsorption with the classic DS scared me then & still does. I did loose close to 100 pounds after the sleeve & then a panniculectomy but regained about 20 pounds. I had a revision of the sleeve & then the SA-DS on December 29, 2015, & am no down 115 pounds from my pre-sleeve starting weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My Single-Anastomosis Duodenal Switch was performed by Dr. Cottam who owns that patent on this procedure and also teaches all the other doctors how to do the surgery. I am glad I chose this procedure. I am on my second week post op and my own side effects is nausea which is being treated by medication. The nausea is so bad it is effecting the amount of fluids I take in and how much I eat. I am hoping in a few days that the meds will help this. I seem to be dropping about 1 lb per day somedays about 1.5. Right now I am being told to eat, eat, eat which is hard to do but I try. Glad to hear you were able to lose the weight you gained. That would be heart breaking to have a procedure that worked for a while and then made you start to gain weight. Glad its working this time for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
