I have been seeing DSers pronouncing the "joy" of DS over RNY. I want to see some stats on whether DSers have a lower rate of revisionism/wt. regain than RNYers. Personally, I don't think so.
The reasons that DSers seem to be so joyeous about their choice is because they can EAT way more than RNYers and consume more Fat. Well, I frankly find that OFFENSIVE. One of the main reasons I chose RNY was because I want to CHANGE, I want to DEVELOP NEW, Better eating habits and a NEW Lifestyle. I want to use my WLS as a TOOL, NOT as a CRUTCH or Wheelchair. So is the DS some type of panacea for wt loss patients, if so why haven't more people gotten it. I just can't see bragging because you had WLS and can still pig out and lose weight...I thought having life threatening and life changing surgery was about a desire to change. The DS just seems like a way for some people to have their cake and EAT it too>>>for a while anyway until it catches up to them. In the end, I guess it is like any other WLS, It IS a TOOL - and if you don't maximize it's use in that short window of time (Meaning Developing new good eating and exercise habits) the Fat will just come back on and then folks will be to the REVISIONIST! Truly, excluding some special condition, is there any way to gain weight other than eating more calories than one burns (basically overeating)...I think not, so my thinking is why turn WLS into a Crutch/Wheelchair and every 3-5 years be back under the knife. I'm sick of people wanting a quick fix...WLS IS NOT one, it will take hard work for the rest of our lives.
