Don't worry about them. Chances are they don't even read & write 1 language fluently, much less 2.

Chiki, I want to sincerely apologize to you. My comment was completely out of line and not a good representative of my character. I was bullied all of my life and I should have known better. I had a momentary lapse in judgement and let my mouth speak before I thought it through. Again, I am very sorry for being so rude and incompassionate. I wish you luck in your journey. Happy holidays!

You can't do a sleeve over a sleeve . What I had done was a gastric placation. Basically the fold the stomach like an accordion and don't actually cut the stomach.

I don't think they do it in the US yet. I had it done in Mexico.

are losing more with that one, i never heared that was possible.. if i do not lose any more weight by may , 2013, i am planing the DS. they dont do it un US..

I like to hear more about that one, if you fon mind . what is the average cost of that one and who perfomed you surgery in MX???

You are right I am sorry. Good luck to you.

I am coming into this a little late, but for those who aren't familiar with what a DS is, it's a Duodenal Switch - this is what can be done after a sleeve to add malabsorption to the equation if restriction alone isn't working.

As for advice for the OP, I am so sorry that I don't have any, as I am pre-sleeve and have never had any WLS. I would agree with those who suggest eating your Protein first and eliminating the simple carbs, such as bread, Pasta, sugars, etc.

I wish you the best and hope you get it figured out!
