I had the switch performed on 21 June 2016 and I am now at 240 Lbs. Weighed 317 on the day of my surgery. So far the only problems I have had are drinking whole milk (2% is fine) and gas when I eat my veggies. Bean o is a definite before I eat my veggies. I have been pretty happy so far with it. Be careful when they tell you about dumping syndrome they are not kidding. If I drink whole milk or have something that is to rich (pecan rolls) I have definitely paid the price for about 4-6 hours after. But as long as I do not go to crazy I have been able to eat pretty much anything in moderation. I highly recommend a lot of walking after. It makes the difference for me between mild suffering from gas and no problems.

Crystal! My DS surgery is scheduled for January! MayI send a private message to you? CONGRATS!

Awesome results!! Im scheduled for sleeve w/ds on 12/28/16. Its right around the corner, getting nervous. I keep reading horror stories about the ds so seeing your post was a relief.

HEY! I just had my surgery at Rex with Dr. Ng on the 14th of December! Good to see another North Carolinian.

I'm writing this from my hospital bed after undergoing surgery to replace an 8 year old Lapland and convert it to a DS. In the process, my surgeon discovered I had a fairly bad Hiatal hernia and the band had resulted in a lot of scar tissue.

That said, I feel surprisingly good just 36 hours out... and advise anyone considering the DS that if you're concerned about post-op pain levels (as I was) - don't be. The hernia fix hurts far worse than the DS or its incisions!
