Hello all! I was wondering if there are any people scheduled for the new SIPS procedure. I am scheduled for May 12th with Dr. Tyner. I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. I have never had a surgery before and I am hoping for a smooth surgery and recovery.

I wanted to just send a quick thank you to everyone for their wise words and support. Last week was my first full week back at work and it went much better than I thought. I think being kept busy made all the difference. Yes, i did get tired toward the end of the week, but really who doesn't? I'm getting better with getting the Protein in, though my go-to Premier Protein pre-mixed has not been my friend lately, it seems to start turning my stomach about 3/4 through so that's when I call it done. And I've finally almost reached the 64 oz of Water. I'm hitting about 52-56 now. Amazing how just over a month ago I would drink 128 oz (sometimes more) without thinking about it.
Each day is different than the last, some better than others but I'm learning to take it all in stride. I've also told myself if I don't reach my goals one day it is okay and I'll work harder the next.
Thank you all again!

It is not considered experimental any longer and hasn't for at least the past year and half to two years. There are actually several well documented papers from Europe in France and Spain where the procedure was introduced. My particular doctor has been perfoming the SADI for over two years with great sucess. It is safer than the traditional DS in several aspects and I do not suffer the side effects of diarehea or gas that most DS patients complain about. While the actual surgery only dates pack to about 2008 the results have been very positive, which is what is important. In medicine it is always about improving the procedures for safety while obtaining the best results. It is just another stepping stone in improving WLS from the old days of stomach stapling.

Thanks Michelle! I'm glad to hear you are doing great! I know I need to make Protein a priority for recovery and I heard it helps with Hair loss from the weight loss. I'm excited and talking on here helps a lot to see there are other people that have had successful surgeries. Now the count down begins! I start my liver reduction liquid diet next week.

I had sips 12/29. I had never had any surgery before either but everything went great. I am down 58 lbs now.
