Just wanted to say WELCOME Aboard! I see Joe Frost covered your question quite well about complications so I just wanted to say in spite of all the possible complications I think (although probably biased) the DS is the surgery that will give you the most " normal " life after. I think this is a huge point to consider as well. I am 6 1/2 months post-op and had no complications. I have lost 86 lbs and I feel amazing! I can eat anything without getting sick ever! I always eat my protein first as this is most important and I take all of my Vitamin/Iron/Protein supplements! I have been given back life! I wish the same for you and anyone in our " shoes " ! If I can be of any help please Email me! Best of Luck! Your WLS Friend, Kjay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
