I'm having DS surgery July 7 th. My sister had it in November and has had no problems. I choose this type surgery because studies show that your less like to regain weight like some do with gastric bypass. I will be taking a lot of vitamins and have to monitor my blood work more so than with gastric bypass. I have a lot of weight to loss and this is the best way.
I start my pre op liver shrinking diet Monday and surgery is July 7 th. 3 protein shakes a day sugar free jello or pudding,brith,sugar free Popsicles, and low carb yogurt. That's it well except sugar free crystal lite in water. This makes the second time doing this for me. I was admitted to the hospital 2 days before my surgery date of June 9 th with Diverticulitis. Praying this time I get my surgery complete without problems.
