1) I thought my boobs couldn't get any saggier. I was wrong. After nearly 14 years since my DS, I'm even "wronger"...because dayum!

2) I thought I wouldn't change after I lost my weight. I did change. My confidence went through the roof and caught the attention of others. I also became a ***** according to some. I used to say I had ADD (acquired doormat disorder), but I lost the need to please others at my own expense and started saying no a lot more. some users didn't appreciate that one bit.

hi i had my surgery 2002 and now i have gained 10kgs back just wondering how to get it off would it be safe to do optifast for 2 weeks?

I had RNY so don't know if this is a factor in DS. With RNY, most people gain back 20% of their lost weight in during the third year after surgery.

So my surgeon recommends losing an extra ten, twenty, or thirty pounds while it is still easy after surgery. They look too skinny for about a year and then fill out again.

I don't know if bounce back happens with DS, so I apologize if this is completely not applicable to you.

I doubt all DSers need to see an endocrinologist. I only needed one once I was diagnosed dxd with osteoporosis. Not all are capable of dealing with DS. Many want to lump us in with bypass patients. Be sure your doc has that understanding.

Relative to your question about treatment. Fortero is a daily injection so no issues with absorption. I have had great success with Fortero. It is the only need in its class that actually grows new bone. I grew a half inch on it in one year at 54 years old. That's amazing.

Best wishes on your journey.

Blessings

Only food but in some cases like the dry fat solubles it helps.
