Question for the old timers on the board

[Guest guest]

Back when I was investigating which surgery I wanted to have, I signed up for an email from a DS (duodenal switch) group.So today, I get this post and I wanted to find out if it applies to VGS people as well:

" If you're a DS post-op - can I be honest with you here?  if you are in that magic 1 to 2 years post-op phase (aka the honeymoon) - you feel invincible, don't you?  It's okay to admit it.  Pretty much about 90% of

us have been there.  Doesn't matter what you do - you just somehow - amazingly - manage to lose weight.  It's nearly dizzying, the euphoria that comes with it!

It does not last.

There will be a day when your body figures out what your surgeon did to make the magic happen - and it will dig in it's heels, so to speak, and fight you for each pound lost. " Does that happen to " us " too?  It would seem to me that it would, since the VSG is " part one " of the DS.  And if so, is it just " no more weight loss " or is it " regain danger! " ???
