Wisconsin_Gal 0 Posted May 22, 2020 Pros: it works, like seriously work. Cons: I'm probably a more extreme case, but the amount of RANK gas and stool that had never been anything other than runny, becoming immediately intolerant to lactose, garlic, onions, green peppers, broccoli, cabbage and other gas producing foods... it means I avoid dating, sex, working out in publics, or joining large groups. I have even **** myself a few times for too taking too long to run to bathroom. All the poop drains me physically, no energy. The gas is depressing. I have never had lower self esteem. (Damn good thing I have so much that I can hardly afford the self esteem loss, but this would be something concerning for anyone prone to depression and less self esteem) . I came home crying for a few hours after my coworker joked with me that some of the cleaning staff mentioned the smell in the work bathrooms. Wonder who it is, they said gossiping.... FOR ME, this was not worth it. Vsg alone worked and got me 80% there. To the point I am looking to get it reversed. It was life limiting to an extended that was unacceptable to me. Don't feel bad for me! I really do think I am on the extreme side and my complaints. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strivingforbetter 247 Posted August 1, 2020 Pros: It works long term whereas the sleeve and lapband often fail over time. Cons: Gas every day starting at 3:00. This gets tiresome. Sometimes I have to get to a bathroom ASAP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I generally don't eat simple carbs till I'm home and free to be me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't feel bad for me! I really do think I am on the extreme side and my complaints. I came here to ask if diarrhea was an issue but toward the end, you said you are looking to get it reversed. I did not know that was an option! I am scheduled for the Duodenal Switch on Augut 10, 2021. I still don't think I quite understand what they will be doing for my surgery. I did schedule a call with my surgeon for June 24, so I can easily ask him for more detail, but is the intestine not cut and shortened in this surgery? If it truly is reversible, that would be great! I hope things get better for you soon! ❤ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
