Guest guest Posted May 16, 2001 Report Share Posted May 16, 2001 : As I have posted to you before, my DS failed, and have now gained back 28 lbs. I am not the first person it has happened to, a lady who use to post had surgery in 10-99, and the DS also failed her. She actually never lost much to begin with. She had her revision this past Jan., and was losing slowly the last time I talked to her. I will be having my revision in June by Dr. Gagner my original surgeon who performed the DS on me 12-3-99. You might want to read 's post on the DS Friends list too. She just had her revision as her stomach stretched and her common channel increased from 100 to 150, and her alimentary limb increased both on their own. So the DS fails, nothing we do wrong, it just happens. Our bodies just adjust sometimes. In my case, a 100 common channel was not short enough for me to begin with, but with a NORMAL person it would have been. This only happens to 4-5 percent of people although. Some of us are just very unlucky I guess. You will do fine, . Patti Re: Re: Help ...
