Congrats! Good to know I'm not the only nasty pooping machine

I take 2 Calcium 600 mg daily, 2 multi Vitamin Bariatric Advantage. I also get a monthly B 12 shot. That's it. I try to eat a lot of Protein. I don't count anymore. I have blood work every 6 months and the protein is always good. Mostly I eat protein first and then whatever. When I eat something not good for me the worst result is gas or diarrhea. No weight gain. I drink Water all day and swim for exercise.

Love these post. I'm 3 weeks from surgery and in the same boat as many of you. Only 80 total lbs to lose to ideal weight. I love hearing about those lbs coming off. It doesn't sound like weighing every day is a good idea....?

First of all I have complete confidence in my surgeon. My wife and I own a medical practice and his reputation and surgical skills are impeccable. Secondly whilst the version of this surgery is fairly new the surgery itself is not new. It has less connections than the duo switch with better results with fewer complications.
I'm happy for the sucess you have had but statistically I think this surgery is right for me. Additionally I expect this surgery will become a surgical cure for type 2 diabetes in the near future for the non obese population. A much need cure for a terrible progressive disease with current treatment costing way more than the cost of this surgery. Truly a jump in treatment Of type 2 diabetes!

If you've had or going to have a gastric sleeve with SIPS I'd like to hear from you. About your journey. This is not the same as the DS procedure. I'm curious about your results and issues as we go thru the process. I know there are a few of us in the NC area but I'm sure there are more and more having this procedure.

Keep in mind that the sips procedure includes the sleeve as well.

Yeah, I get the " you re not that fat"" comment all the time.....

I was in the hospital for 3 days and out of work for 2 weeks when I had my sips 2.5 years ago. Medicine seems to be all about shorter stays and more at home monitored recovers. Plan on a couple of weeks out of work. But , it's all worth it. Great procedure!

Hi, I had a sips 13 months ago. I did have a period of throwing up sometimes if I over ate or ate to fast. I still eat small quantities but many times a day. Basically snacking all day. dinner is the least I eat. If I can help at all let me know. Good luck.....it's an awesome surgery.

I am 100 lbs lighter than I was pre op 15 months ago. I weigh less than I did when I was 20.....I'm now 57. I wear a size 32w, a small or medium shirt. I used to wear 44w and extra larges. I have more energy, more positive thoughts and am no longer a slave to food. Iam able to eat most foods but not too much of any one thing. This is who I am now! Thank god for my family practice doc and his referral to my weight loss doc Paul Enoch. My diabetes is gone and I am healthy once again......this is who I am!

Ditto what Rogofulm said
" when gaining a couple of lbs is ok because it gets you closer to goal weight"
An amazing feeling!

I'm in Raleigh, Paul Enoch's is my surgeon and Nov 14th is my surgery date. I was going to have a lap band but he presented a new fairly new procedure he is doing and asked if I wanted to join a study on long term results. He explained that in Spain they have been doing this surgery for the last 3 years and in the states recently. My wife and I are in the medical field and his reputation is great. He is one of 7 surgeons nationally participating in the study it's called a Sleeve with single Anastomosis duodenoileal bypass (SIPS) . Anyone know anything about this. I can't find anything about this in any of the forums.

Hope things worked out, Baraitric Specialist did my SIPS in Nov and BCBS of NC covered it!

At some point EVERY surgery wasn't around for a long time. Although you had the sleeve in comparison to RNY, the sleeve hasn't been around for a long time either. The decision is solely between an individual and their surgeon, so I wish everyone the best no matter which surgery they choose!

Thanks!! It is definitely way different than before but on the bright side we are not constipated.

He suggested it in a conversation about my diabetes. That's what brought me to WLS . He says that this surgery has a 95% resolution of diabetes vs. 70% for lap band.
