It's been six years now since I had the Duodenal Switch.  I have lost 150 pounds and have been pretty consistent with my weight.  I bounce up and down the same six or eight pounds.  When I do what I'm supposed to do I feel great.   I have had to battle vitamin deficiencies as well as iron absorption problems.  However, because I stay on top of these issues I'm doing well.  I struggle to avoid sugar but I don't know that I'll ever lick that problem.  Daily life is easier and I feel strong most days.  150 pounds is alot to lose and I never want to see it again. 

I no longer suffer with Diabetes, Hight Blood Pressure or Joint Issues.  I feel truly blessed.
