Switch- a- roo! (Pun intended)
Feb 26, 2011
Well last week I happened to run across a post that started “surgery wars” and I was reading everything that was said back and forth between the DS’ers and RNY’ers. Needless to say it was brutal, but it got me thinking about my choices I realized that I Ds might be a better option for me due to it’s long-term success. In the beginning of my WLS journey in 2001 I came across a show called Plastic surgery b/4 and after and there was a lady who had undergone BPD with DS and I saw how she could eat a normal sized meal. Well she was on the show to have her excess skin removed so I looked and researched some, but DS wasn’t widely practiced by many so I threw that option out of the window, but now it has presented itself and I realized after researching all wls options that DS is the want I want. So I called the office and told them that I was interested in DS and I was switched to Dr. Sudan. So I have my appointment him 2/28 and my Psych eval is still scheduled for 3/7. I think it was meant to be that I was able to switch surgeons and my appointment was made very close to the original appointment. I don’t feel so worried about DS as much as RYN bothered me. The only thing that I worry about with DS is knowing what vitamins to take and how much. So that’s it for now OH fam. I will let you know how my appointment goes!
