Yep that's what I had. Started the process in January & had surgery 7/26. When my Dr came in he asked if I was ready and I looked at him straight faced and said I've been waiting for 7 months LET'S DO THIS!! He laughed, I laughed and we went to work. Right now I'm struggling with losing, I was hoping it would be faster. I'm on all these boards & FB groups seeing other people lose 60 in 3 weeks, maybe an exaggeration, but it sucks. Makes me feel like I'm already failing when I'm following my Dr's orders to a T. Ok, sorry to ramble on there about myself ☹ You will do great and it does take time but remember it is for the better and you will be so much happier and healthier after [emoji16] Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app -

After my sleeve the contrast did make me sick, after my DS it did not. It reminds me of super sweet Lysol lol. Take your puke bag with you, take 2 swallows of it and you should be fine. Just think after that you get LIQUIDS [emoji16] Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Mine was 7/26 but I've been having HORRIBLE gas & heartburn since last week. Standing & laying down seem to help but I have a desk job so neither of those are options. :/ Gas X, Tums & fiber gummies have been my best friends! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I just had a true DS 3 weeks ago today. I stopped pain meds after I got out of the hospital, except for bedtime, & I was in the hospital for 2 nights. Walking was fine and the gas pains were less than when I had my sleeve. Since surgery I've had really bad gas pain and some constipation due to not getting all my water & fat it but I'm working on that. I don't have all of my energy back yet so that's annoying but hopefully in 3 more weeks I'll be ok. Is your surgeon a true DS Dr? Check dsfacts.com to see if they're listed. Unfortunately I hear about too many people thinking they're getting a true DS but they're not. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app -

I haven't used that but do use Premier Protein, Protein20 water & Genepro, unflavored. And what you like before surgery you might not like after just FYI. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Pre-surgical liquid diet question
court2180 replied to RDBrown71's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
Liquid in, liquid out LOL! It may or may not happen after surgery, depending on how your body processes pain meds, you're all good! PS...I'm having the opposite issue so I'm a little jealous. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app -

I'm 2.5 weeks out and have issues as well. I told my Dr Thurs at my post op appt and he said to up my water and fat & get fiber gummies. He said I should be going 1-2 times per day but I'm going maybe once a day or every other day. I also have HORRIBLE gas pains. Hoping for some food suggestions on here!

If your BMI is over a certain percentage you should qualify. That's how it was with my insurance through my employer. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app
