My journey DS & Plastics



Recommended Posts

So in a nutshell

Plastics: brachio/fleur 5/21/2021 (weight after plastic, no idea lol)

I am reaching my ten year mark in September! I just got rid of my excess tum and flying squirrels.

I thought I'd stop here and see what's new and get some comfort and info.

So DS is revised from the original, I have been doing fine with mine all this time but I wonder if I have to worry about anything now that I have the older procedure. How is everyone who had DS doing? Do I need to watch out for anything?

Is there a plastic thread? I can't seem to find what I need. I just want to chat w people who got what I got and can tell me what they went through.

Also, I'm here to give support as well for anyone who has any long term questions

Hugs and healing!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
