So you are telling me, that my pouch is not a permanent solution?!?

Oh Lord, look at the Endobarrier. It looks like a condom with barbed wire on the end. Youch. Hopefully it turns into a viable option for the people who absolutely can't have invasive surgery, but I am glad I got something different.

From someone who had an RNY, an RNY revision and finally the DS. All these new surgeries are sounding like fixes to a flawed surgery. Just concentrate on improving the RNY and stop trying to find some way of making more money.
if you know your patient is going to gain their weight back, 3 out of 10, then you must also be considering that you're going to be going back in again on that same patient, 3 out of 10 times. These operations take their toll on you. And with each one, the risks get higher.
If I could have had the DS to start, I would have. But it's not for everyone. There's a lot of compliance and some people can't do it. I still struggle on some days with my carbs. It's a work in progress for every WLS.
I just say, improve upon the RNY instead of coming up with NEW surgeries.
