I had mine done by Dr Jon Bruce at WakeMed Cary in NC. So far the post op has been far easier than the VSG. I don?t know if that?s because I knew what to expect or the fact my pouch was not touched during DS. Pain was minimal, although nausea the first 48 hours was bad. It has cured by bile reflux for sure.

Nausea has been a daily occurrence, but manageable. I feel like I know where my food is in my system at all times. SR meds had to be changed to IR. Bathroom stuff is weird.. dont stroll far the first few weeks. Water intake has been easier since I can still intake what I did prior to revision.

Please let me know if I can help in any way.

Where did you get it done? How is recovery so far compared the the sleeve? Did you have to get an endoscopy to check your sleeve before hand? Sorry for all the questions!! Lol

Damn auto correct!! Gall bladder*

I haven't had the conversion yet. I am finishing the requirements from the surgeon. I will be done on Wednesday with everything. I hope to have it this month.

What is a glass ladder? This is my 1st time hearing the term.

I think you are making a great decision. Definitely wishing you the best on your journey.

I am also curious regarding pass through.. I just revised from VSG to DS 2 weeks ago.. the first purée I had I was literally waiting to run to the bathroom. It ended up waiting until the next AM. I keep waiting for the 20-min mute miracle, but so far no problem. I am feeling sick after going, though.

I love hearing that constipation may be a thing of the past.
