1. I am preparing to have the loop duodenal switch surgery.My doctor advised this for me. The sleeve didn't early work for me. Anyhow I have gone through the things I had to do like the dietician, the trainer and the psyche evaluation. Just waiting now to revisit my doctor now. I don't know what is expected of me now. But I will find out. I've been trying to follow the bariatric eating and getting in protein. Any advice that anyone can give me..I'm a little anxious about it..Surgery doesn't scare me, its the unknown I suppose, the expectations of after. Thanks to anyone...Donna in Maine

I had the DS May 12th doing great. Lost 17 lbs in two weeks no excercise yet

Thx for writing...thats great...been reading some of the comments..guess you better take alot of the vitamins, etc. Really glad to hear you are doing well, that makes me feel reassured...Donna
