Not the day surgery I thought!



Recommended Posts

I belong to a Facebook group. Well they have me freaking out. On Oct 17, 2017 I had DS surgery. Well now I find out my surgeon doesn't perform the original ds. But a new one. I'm not sure which one I had but I looked on their website and it explains the steps to the surgery. I guess I got a DS loop, or SADI, I'm really dismayed. I feel like I did this all for nothing. These women are making me feel like a failure and I'm only ten days out. Has anyone been successful with the new kind if DS surgery

My God-sister had the loop on August 24th and is down almost fifty pounds. I just had the standard DS on 23rd I refused to do the loop because its too new. Thats just me. I would say to look at your paper work to see and make sure and call your surgeon and ask why you were not informed of the difference. Also most people do not see tons of weight loss the first two months because the body is adjusting. You got this. ️ Good luck

I had the SIPS/LOOPS/SA-DI DS on 8/8. I can't give you specifics on success or not just yet. I am however down to 192 from my HW of 242 (SW of 226). This was a revision surgery for me from the lapband so I'm predisposed to being a slower loser.

Good luck to you though :)

I am so sorry - recovery is bad enough without having to worry about what was done to you.

Get a copy of your operative report and Your signed consent form. What do they say?

Can I ask who your surgeon was? I joined a Facebook group for a moment, and I saw some comments about my surgeon and the loop as well. I knew that's what I was getting into, and I've talked to a lot of people who had great success with my surgeon and that surgery. Just curious to see if maybe we have the same surgeon! As far as that Facebook group goes, if it's the same one I was in... I quickly left. They seemed like bullies!!

My surgeon was Dr. Medlin, from The BMI institute. I have talked to them thoroughly and I am ok with the surgery I had. I won't need to take as many Vitamins, I won't have diarrhea as much either. This is what they told me. Only time will tell. So now I know I had the loop ds surgery.

I'm going through Dr. Cottam there! Love the office so far! I knew I was having the loop, and they told me the same thing. Less negative effects as well! Great experience and excited for surgery come Monday. :) Best of luck to you on your journey!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
