Welcome back Sandra. I had my DS in 2003 and have been doing fine. I deal with calcium deficiency (I have osteoporosis) and occasional iron deficiency anemia (controlled with infusions), but otherwise I'm healthy (according to my doctors), I've maintained my weight loss, and enjoy each day as it comes.

My surgery was years ago. My A1c is usually 3.9 to 4.2. No idea if it is normal. But I never have symptoms.

Hi,

I was wondering if going back to the basics aleviates the feeling of never feeling satiated?\

Hello everyone,

My name is Sandra and I had ds in 2007 with Dr. L in Michigan. I was an avid OHer years ago but slowly lost contact with my fellow ds sisters and brothers. I live in Ontario, Canada and was wondering how everyone else is doing this far out?

Thanks,

Sandra originally from Belleville Ontario.

I had Gastric Bypass w/Duodenal switch around 20 years ago. I suffer with stomach bloating and god awful gas. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of the pain and smell? I've tried Gas X, Pepto, and Phazyme Ultra Strength. The other thing I tried was Atrantil which does help but not enough. And I don't drink carbonated drinks or chew gum. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
