  1. Is the BPD (Biliary Pancreatic Diversion) with Duodenal Switch the same surgury as the Duodenal Switch. I was assumming it is when I joined this forum but in the hopes of not being mistaken I thought it wise to ask.

    Hello all...you've got another newbie here. I have been prepping for BPD/DS for the last 6 months and now that I'm closers to scheduling surgury I'm so nervous and have even scheduled an appointment with my Doc to discuss in detail my apprehensions. I thought I'd throw some of them out there. I've been lurking reading others posts and one of the things that has made me nervous are talks of infusions, hematologists, tons of supplements and, horrible smelling bms that peels paint off the walls. Okay yes the poop thing is minor but peeling paint...that makes this girl nervous. I don't want to be the office social pariah. In all seriousness are infusions and hematologists worst case scenarios? I don't want to trade one serious health issue for another. Also what are people spending on Vitamins and supplements? Sounds like a fortune and I am using every penny I have for surgury. Thanks in advance and from what I have read there are some pretty awesome people here so I feel welcome already. Thanks, Chandra
  3. What would most people here say was the amount of time of missed work post surgury? Sent from my SM-N920R4 using the BariatricPal App

    BPD with Duodenal Swith

    Yes, it is. There was a surgery called the BPD. It's not performed any longer as a standalone. It's now done as BPD/DS.Thanks @@Postop Sent from my SM-N920R4 using the BariatricPal App
