Hey there! I'm currently pre-op for the DS. When I went into my first consult I was dead set on getting the VSG, but after learning about each, I'm leaning more towards the DS. I'm 24 and weigh 308 pounds with a BMI of about 46.7. Anyone out there have the DS at a younger age and had success? I haven't found many and am interested to hear some success stories! Heck! Anyone who's had the DS feel free to post your stats! For example: start weight, current weight, surgery date, protein used, etc anything you think would be helpful!

@@SoCalBoiler it has not been started yet. So far I have just called to set up consult and to verify benefits. My BMI is 46.8 and I have hypertension. I'm working on finalizing a consult to explore my options further. Not sure what to do with insurance since it is a plan exclusion Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App @@Hiraeth I have Aetna choice pos II. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Just got the call from my surgeons office. My insurance does not cover bariatric surgery it's a plan exclusion. What are my options at this point? They said I can finance it and that there are other options. I need advise. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How long did you take off of work? How long did you actually need? How long were you in pain? What was your job? Sorry lots of questions. Trying to figure out how much time I will need. I'm a nurse by the way, work for a busy pediatric clinic. It does not require lifting, just a lot of sitting/standing. Thanks in advance! I'm new here, the name is Taylor.
