Jess, we have at least one member here who has had the duodenal switch. It is something people rarely talk about but I understand the main reason for choosing that surgery is that it is the most effective cure for diabetes.
I hope you will feel like telling us your story. Especially in a case where a very underused surgical technique is employed, we can learn a lot from you. You can help somebody else make a choice by telling your story. We automatically love and support you here, so please feel free to tell us everything about how the surgery is working for you.
And here's a big old welcome to the group hug!
