I haven't had no sort of complications with the Duodenal Switch, I guess it has worked for me, I was 287lb now 150 lb feeling great, I had 2 more kids after the surgery and healthy babies they are. I just wanna say if you are reading this and you are doing your research and confused wich surgery is best for you, Get the DS, you won't regret it...I have not gain a pound and I can eat EVERYTHING!!!  I please....I am very happy I did it, and I thank the DR. that did it, Dr. Michel Gagner where ever you are THANK YOU.......

I am still alive after 2 yr and 2 months! I am also having my secong DS baby in Dec. 23, 2010, yes after you lose so much weigh you become very fertile, lol. but I am so happy that I did this and haven't had no complications only that I can eat anything I want, but I am so anal with vitamins I hate them, but gotta take them, I hope eveyone is well and I will post in a few months!

Hello all sorry I disappeared for a while, but just to let you all know I had my baby and he is healthy as they come. Trough out my pregnancy I was able to have a stable weight of 177lb and did not gain weight, I ate alot I mean alot and I just couldn't get any weight on me well baby was taking it all, after having the baby I went down to 156lb I have achieved my goal which it was 160lb so now I am 4 lb lighter than my goal weight. Now I have to go to my Doctor to get all my blood work test done to make sure I am doing ok. Well hope everyone is well and I will check back.

 

Sorry I haven't posted anything new, been busy with my kids and school and being tired from being pregnant, but everything is great. I was really scared that I wasen't gonna be able to carrry a child after the DS but it has not been like that, I got pregnant really fast the first month we tried conceving as to before it took me years to conceive my son when I was overweight, I haven't reached my goal but I am also not gaining any weight since being pregnant I actually lost 5 lbs, wish is ok for now, I am trying to eat more carbs so I can gain a little, but doctor says I am ok, as long as I don't lose too much, drinking all my vitamins everyday, and just taking it easy. Well I will post in a few months to let you know how I am doing.

I am getting closer to my year Surversary and I am great have lost 112lbs and just found out that I am pregnant! I am happy and a little scared at the same time, getting pregnant before the 18 months, but I am taking all my vitamins and eating more protein than usual, I am 5 weeks prego and just waiting for that first doctor appointment, so good luck to me.

It's been 10 months since surgery, as you can see I am not the same person I was, well I am the same person just look different and feel different, I feel great, no complications since day one, I can eat EVERYTHING when I say everything I mean everything, no bowel problems I can't live with. Blood work was good just a little low on Vit D, witch my surgeon prescribed me 50,000 of Vit D I take one a week. but other than that I feel fabulous.

                              AFTER

I am doing really good, the month's have flew by and I feel like a brand new person, I am able to eat everything and no complication till this day. I love my DS. I have gone from 287 lbs. to 188 lbs. in almost 7 months, is great. I was a size 22-24 now I am a size 10-12. It is the greatest feeling ever.

I am still doing very well, no complications from day one! I am 14 weeks today, and I've lost 65lbs. I am so happy, I feel lighter, no backaches, no feet aches, I've gone from size 24W to a size 16W in 3 months ! I eat what I like, I've noticed that when I eat constantly I lose faster, when I don't eat I stall.

Hair: Has started to fall this month, hope it will stop soon.

Bathroom Issues: Not much, but I think is time for Probiotics! Yeah smell is not getting better but it is not out of this world. I go 3-4 times daily not a biggie for me.

Protein: Not getting in as much as I suppose too but I am trying, not feeling weak or with no energy or anything like that so I guess I am good.

Vitamins: Everyday, I try.

But overall no regrets here, and I am rocking this DS!

Today I am 2 Month's Post-Op, I have lost 46 Lbs. I can't beleive it has been 2 months, I am feeling great I have energy my back doesen't hurt anymore when I wash my dishes, I can walk for miles without my feet aching, I can eat my sweets and my carbs and having no complications, my gas issues are not even bad I feel normal I have BM 1-2 times a day, no diarreah, no oil slicks, I mean this is better than I expected. I am lacking on my protein cause I just can't stand those protein shakes, I am trying to eat as much protein from food but with a small stomach is a little hard to do, everyday I do try to eat as healthy as I can but I do treat myself to some low-carb Ice Creams and my old time favorite "Cheetos" but what's amazing I don't crave as much sugar as I used to. So far I am very happy with my results and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
