Yes, he told me he didn't reduce my stomach because of the amount of scar tissue.

Did he tell you he didn't reduce your stomach?

Topic: Partial DS!

Has anyone had the DS surgery where the Doc did not reduce the size of your stomach, they only rearranged your intestines so it wouldn't absorb as many calories. Please share your story as I'm feeling hopeless and regretful.

I'm 3 days post op and can drink the same as pre-OP, im trying not to...

I'm definitely freaking myself out that this will not work

I used to wrap. I have a full leg brace I have to wear and a pump. The swelling leave but comes back. It's not as bad as it used to be but still bad. I don't try to let it stop me. I brought it up do to it add weight on the scale. I don't know my correct weight. I was told I have 43lbs of water weight. I was trying to tell the doctor that. He want me to lose 80-110 lbs. He's not looking at the total picture. If I did lose that or close to it we won't know do to the lymphedema. Make it so bad he did a lympnodes transplant on my leg it didn't work due to the healing and the loose skin. My therapist and I think it is. Thanks for your advise

maybe you should consider another doctor. One Whois more knowledgeable about lymphedema.
