Recovery from Sleeve to DS?

So basically just the intestinal part of the DS surgery if that makes sense. I have my sleeve already in place since 2014 ?


Curious about how recovery might go. My sleeve recovery was okay, nothing major but there were plenty of situations with the stomach that were challenging due to the extreme restriction at the beginning.


Any thoughts, experiences, opinions?

Wow, I can see where you would be possibly unhappy with the effects you are dealing with ( I read your pros and cons).

Are you currently thinking of changing back to sleeve? Did you lose your extra weight you were needing to lose when you revised to the DS? Was the actual surgical recovery painful or difficult?

I am sure you are trying everything possible, but , curious if diet changes are having any impact on the gastrointestinal issues at hand that you are living with.

Thank you for sharing! @Wisconsin_Gal

Thank you so much @onmyway11!

How is it going for you so far? Also curious as to your decision process between the regular DS and the modified... what pushed your decision toward the mod version if you are willing to share!
