I had my VGS done 2 years ago. Failed...only end result was a 40 lbs weight loss. On Wed AUG 5 I am going in and having the DS performed. Any last minute advice to help me be successful this time?

I am going in Aug 5 for a revision from a GS to a DS with Dr Jawad.

Hey everyone

Been a lurker for some time now but figured its time to join and get some support. I am a 36yr old mom from Orlando Florida, currently in the beginning stages of this process.

I have completed all my requirements( blood work, psch eval etc) but still have 2 more appts with my doctor and NUT left as required by my insurance(aetna requires 90 days of a supervised diet etc).

At my first appt with my surgeon (Dr Jawad) I expressed I wanted to explore the options of the traditional DS and he agreed. I am still unsure of what I want to do but just recently found out Dr Jawad only does the SADI loop and for the life of me cannot find any surgeons in FL who does the traditional DS. I want to actually talk/meet with a doctor who does the traditional DS so if anyone knows of a doc in FL or even GA who does the traditional DS, please let me know.. Thanks for taking the time to read....
