    The main difference is since my sleeve did not get revised, I don't have the tightness when food hits my sleeve like before. Also you heal much faster at 2.5 weeks I can eat anything I've tried so far. This week I've had chicken and even meatloaf. I still chew forever because I don't know how long it takes my small intestines to heal. I've lost 16lbs since surgery. Weight loss is slower the second time around, but I expected that.

    HI Everyone, I am having the loop ds on 11/20/17 I would love to connect with people that are going through this. Is this your first WLS or a revision? This is my second. I had RNY back in 1999 kept off the weight through two babies two years ago,(16 years later) i started to gain weight and it just kept going. I find it hard to find people who have or is going to have the loop DS. most have had the traditional and most are very protective over it.

    how are you doing with the loop

    I had my DS February 2017. Best decision I ever made. I think the procedure is about 10 years old but that’s new in healthcare 🤣.

    The weight loss isn’t rapid but it’s steady and the long term success is better that’s why every gets revised to the DS.

    I pop 4-5 times a day because 60% of you small intestines is bypassed so the route is shorter and it smells horrible. Like nothing I’ve smelled before and I’m a nurse. 🤣🤣🤣. Almost worst than gangrene. Almost.

    With the DS the Vitamins and Protein intake in more because we are more at risks for malabsorption and malnutrition. I get the chewables.

    Of course they tell you to wait to drink. Ask your MD but Its a little different drinking afterwards. If you drink be around family or friends that will care for you.

    Oh fatty food are not your friend. You will see it later literally. If you decide to eat it anyway. Just don’t sleep on your favorite sheets 🤣🤣🤣. No lie.

    But im no longer a diabetic. No htn. No cholesterol issues. Just crazy and you can’t fix that.

    I did have my gallbladder removed and that was outpatient. Just meant I poop more. Invest in Imodium. Buy stock in it.

    But like with anything you have to do your part and your body will do the rest. Good luck. Keep me posted.

    Hello there, did you have the traditional ds or sids/loop?

    I had procedure done 6/8/16. I still cannot eat very much. If I go out to eat I eat very little and take the rest home. I think I am still at less than 800 calories a day. My relationship with food has forever changed but I am much happier now. I miss being able to eat a whole piece of pizza or a entire cheeseburger but that's why I go so big in the first place..

    hello there Dr. Bilof did my DSLoop yesterday small world. How are you doing this far out

    I wish I got sick off sugar, but I don't indulge much anyway but I do have a piece of candy almost every day. No problems. I even had a cupcake just 4 weeks out didn't make me sick, but I realize then that I really dont care for sweets that much anymore. So now at 2 months out I rarely crave sweets.
