DS is the best

I know I am preaching to the choir here but I just love the DS/BPD surgery. As a physician myself I can tell you the ability to have an intact pyloric valve and thus be able to take any medication normally is the biggest advantage to this surgery. Personally I am so glad that I do not ever have to worry about dumping as well. I have seen to many RNY patients who know they dump still not be able to control their eating. This surgery requires work on our parts- we must still be the one to exercise, we must still be the one to eat the right foods-protein first, low-carb vegetables and fruit, we have to still take our supplements. I truly can as a physician look anyone physician or non-medical in the eye and state with no hesitation that this is the treatment of choice for a person with morbid obesity.

Thanks for your reassurance Amanda! I had my BPD/DS April 14th, and just got my operative report yesterday. My Dr. tried to persuade me to have the RNY or the lapband instead due to the fact I have had kidney stones in the past. I told them and wrote them that if they got inside me and thought it unsafe to do just to close me back up as I wanted no part of the new stomach opening. I feel wonderful, have had no complications as of yet, and have lost 30 lbs already. I am paranoid about being able to drink enough to keep from forming stones, I am now up to six 8oz glasses, and pushing for more each day. It is the only drawback as far as I am concerned. Thanks for your post, I was feeling like a naughty schoolgirl after reading his report that I was adamant on the bpd/ds..... Jolene

Keep preaching away, I love to hear it. This surgery is a no brainer, platnium above the rest! Since surgery, I have tolerated all foods, no nausea or vomiting ever. So many times I run into those who chose the rny, and the talk seems to always center around diet issues, what they cannot tolerate, portions, chewing, and of coarse the dumping. I love the normal post op life with the DS, great weight loss, nothing but success.
