Hi all. My name is Dianna.

I am 10 days post Loop DS today and wanted to introduce myself. This is all very overwhelming and I'm nauseous most of the time. I'm hoping for some tips and tricks while I'm recovering to feel better.

Thanks all in advance!

Hi Dianna and welcome. :)

Congratulations on your surgery. Sorry you're still feeling a bit crummy. I can't speak to recovery from Loop DS, as I had RNY. I hope you start feeling better soon. Please keep writing, I'm interested in hearing more about your experience with this particular procedure.

Hi Dianna! You are only the second duodenal switch patient who has been a member of this group in the last eight months that I've known of it. How's everything going? I had RYGB, the good old gold standard, but I am hearing mixed reports about The duodenal switch. For the most part it sounds like it could be the future of bariatric surgery. What do you think?

Hi. Well I got the Loop DS, so it's different from even the Standard Duodenal Switch. I think they are really pushing this more than the other surgeries because of less malabsorption and no dumping. I'm not sure. With the research I have done, I went with this because it seemed to fit what I want and need most. Hard to tell with only about 6 or 7 years long term data.

So far, I'm nauseous all the time, but 10 days isnt far out and I hope its just me adjusting to my new system.

How are you doing with yours?
