Pros: it works, like seriously work.

Cons: I'm probably a more extreme case, but the amount of RANK gas and stool that had never been anything other than runny, becoming immediately intolerant to lactose, garlic, onions, green peppers, broccoli, cabbage and other gas producing foods... it means I avoid dating, sex, working out in publics, or joining large groups. I have even **** myself a few times for too taking too long to run to bathroom. All the poop drains me physically, no energy. The gas is depressing. I have never had lower self esteem. (Damn good thing I have so much that I can hardly afford the self esteem loss, but this would be something concerning for anyone prone to depression and less self esteem) . I came home crying for a few hours after my coworker joked with me that some of the cleaning staff mentioned the smell in the work bathrooms. Wonder who it is, they said gossiping....

FOR ME, this was not worth it. Vsg alone worked and got me 80% there. To the point I am looking to get it reversed.

It was life limiting to an extended that was unacceptable to me.

Don't feel bad for me! I really do think I am on the extreme side and my complaints.

Pros: It works long term whereas the sleeve and lapband often fail over time.

Cons: Gas every day starting at 3:00. This gets tiresome. Sometimes I have to get to a bathroom ASAP.

Are you eating carbs during the day? Simple carbs. That might be part of the issue. I generally don't eat simple carbs till I'm home and free to be me...

I came here to ask if diarrhea was an issue but toward the end, you said you are looking to get it reversed. I did not know that was an option! I am scheduled for the Duodenal Switch on Augut 10, 2021. I still don't think I quite understand what they will be doing for my surgery. I did schedule a call with my surgeon for June 24, so I can easily ask him for more detail, but is the intestine not cut and shortened in this surgery? If it truly is reversible, that would be great! I hope things get better for you soon! ❤

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
