Hey! Getting SIPS in March(previous vsg)! Jus wondering, i said u had fatty liver initially...was it non-alcoholic?, and how did they find out u had it? And how are u doing now? Are u losing much with the SIPS?

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! When are u scheduled? Wat are u getting?

Hello, I am new to the group. I had my sleeve done back in 2013 and am now going to get the DS-SIPS procedure. While i know this form of the procedure is fairly new, i know there has to be someone who can answer questions for me, or give me insight, that has had the surgery more than a year...at least two years i'm hoping! Everyone i talk to or have seen in this group just got the surgery, and the responses, rants, concerns, and results are all over the place, leaving me a bit cloudy minded to say the least, lol.. Just wondering: *what are your feelings toward having the procedure done after a year or more? any regrets? why? *Are you still having to take an insane amount of vitamins as u did when u first got the surgery? does it seem like your nutritional values gets easier to maintain? or harder? *are you able to drink liquor at all? have you traveled with your surgery? (i go to cancun every year, thats why i am asking about liquor, lol) * wats the best pre-op diet? i hear many different responses to what diet they first give you right after surgery... * have you had any health issues that you feel were a result of this surgery? I ask that you please be VERY honest in answering any of these questions. While i know the surgery seems like a good option rite now,i just want to know if long term this will be a good option for me...thanks in advance for any help and advice anyone gives me at this point...
