The duodontal switch was recommended bc of ur weight and the diabetes mixed that is why they recommended it bc u will loose the weight faster and take the diabetes away to help ur health that is why they recommended that for you there is always a reason behind they're recommendations and they always do what they feel is best for you if that's what they are recommending I would listen to what they think is best for your health.

I used to be a bartender and I know it's not preferred but I know of two people who had that surgery and drank soda and alcohol daily but I can also tell you that both of them are putting the weight they lost back on I haven't had my surgery yet but just by what I saw in them I wouldn't suggest it I quit soda 6 months ago and I crave it every day but know that I want to make this a long term goal and there is no sense going through all this just to eventually pile it back on the point is to start a new life and new ways. Best of luck and I hope that helps sway you to keeping up ur great work!!

So this is my story so far, almost 8 years ago I gave birth to my youngest child it was a very stressful and emotional and physically painful pregnancy. After birth I found myself the lightest I had weighed since 4 th grade I tried for years to keep it off but always fluxerating in weight. About five years ago my third child was diagnosed with severe ADHD. Already having my oldest who has autism and my middle child having ADHD and now my youngest with severe ADHD my husband and and I decided it was time for me to stay home and quit my job. So this is what I did. I went from constantly on the go to being at home and for the first few months I struggled of just not understanding I never smoked drank or did drugs why did I have three disabled kids?? This is something I still question often but just thankful I have them at the end of it all. Slowly tho over the last five years I have increasingly put weight on. Bc of my abusive childhood from my mother I vowel I would always be the best mom I could about 8 months ago I opened my eyes and realized in order to be a good mom I have to for one take care of me. Something I have never done. I have always put my kids first above everything. So in April I started my journey I quit smoking cold turkey just like I did during my pregnancy and have not looked back I will do anything it takes for a this surgery. I started at 283 I'm now at 270 and I go to finally meet the surgeon on October 25. !! I'm so excited and so ready for this journey!!! I started my classes back in April and it just seems like it's been forever. I'm so ready to start my life to a healthier happier me. I have suffered from so much depression due to me gaining weight and I'm ready to say good riddens to both and hello world and ready to start having fun with my husband and kids. This summer was really an eye opening for me I went to Hershey park with my kids and I was told I had to get off the ride sooo humiliating. Going to the beach and wearing clothes in the ocean bc I'm embarrassed to wear a swimsuit. Went hiking and kept having to stop and my family waiting for me bc I felt like I would pass out. I'm ready for my new start and nothing will come in my path.

I'm so lucky my husband is by my side % he supports me for the RNY even tho he thought I shld go a different route told me it's my choice in the end. I find out my surgery date soon and he is even taking a week off to be with me. I hope everything gets better for all u all it makes me realize how lucky I am even when my husband is grouchy and drives me crazy. Remember this is about you now and ur health I always put everyone before me and I realized if I wanted to put them first in the future I had to put me first so I could be around. Good luck to all!!!
