loop duodenal switch

Has anyone heard of this modification to regular ds? It's also known as biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS)?

      I am having BPD-DS in a month (12/15/16). My surgeon talks about it with me about it. He said it has a great long term success rate. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

      I think you're referring to the SADI-S or SIPS procedure. That's a single loop DS. The full or traditional DS is known as the Duodenal Switch or BPD/DS.

    No. I am able to have bowel movements. I am not sure what they are from. I called the doctor and they told me the cramps and bloating should go away in the next couple of weeks. I hope so because it feels like I need to have a bowl movement all the time.

    I had a stall at 4 weeks for a month! That apparently is normal.
