  1. @RickM Thank you so much for your opinion. You were able to put the reason I am leaning towards DS in a very concise and precise manner thank you
  2. chaos please do. Berry, That would be an option but as a teacher my insurance can change yearly what is covered this year may not be next.
  3. Thank you so much. Rny is an option for me. But I have hear with that one the bm when feel the pain go immediately to bathroom. I teach and would hate for an accident to happen
  4. Ds will in my opinion help me get to my gw of 200. However I hear people worried about the rearranged intestinal tract. Whilst the risk for complications are up for ds the research shows it has better long-term effects. I am trying to get feedback from those who have taken the journey before me.
  5. Thank you for the information. I know the malabsorption can be an issue but I don't want to have to go back under the knife for a revision.
  6. Hello I am in the pre-surgery process and have yet to decide which surgery to get. I am currently 373 lbs and 5'11 bmi 50+. My highest ever weight was around 400. I am considering vsg or ds(which I am leaning towards) I know surgery is a tool and requires hard work. I have done multiple diets and the yo yo effect of it. I will be having surgery this summer and just want to hear your thoughts. VSG or DS.
