I choose the duodenal switch procedure. I was a complicated procedure, which also lead to two life threatening perforated bowel complications. My surgeon Dr. Castanda and his medical team were amazing! It was the best medical care I have ever received. Now being home I can still only tolerate very small amounts of pureed food, diluted juices and water. I have lost 2 pounds in 22 days! And my family doctor was very happy with the medical advice, and care and instructions sent home with me. This procedure without a doubt has more medical risks, and life long dietary changes need to be made, but FOR ME, this was a step in my life towards a healthier me. All I could recommend is start making changes now, and do research. Even find your nearest support group and talk, talk, and talk to people!

I never lost anymore significant weight after that. From 2006 to 2009 I had many significant health problems; including 3 strokes. After spending months in the hospital I gained back all my weight and more. The only reason I can think is that my medications at present (11 /plus 2 types of insulin)sinificantly changed my metabolism. I still can only eat about what I was able to eat after the intial Roux-en-Y. My insurance allows for a 2nd operation can the BPD/DS be done after the Roux-en-Y is done?

It is common for me to eat and then within 1/2 hour, be hungry again. I also crave bread, cake, pasta and rice. This being the case, would a DS or RNY make more sense for me. Thank you. Hello,

I have huge hormone variations that make me feel hungry all the time. It is common for me to eat and then within 1/2 hour, be hungry again. I also crave bread, cake, pasta and rice. This being the case, would a DS or RNY make more sense for me.

Thank you.
