Guest guest Posted June 15, 2001 Report Share Posted June 15, 2001 Cheryl - Yes, you are right on most counts. However, I don't believe that the DS necessarily has slower weight loss. We used to have combined RNY/DS support group meetings and while individual rate of loss varies, I didn't notice the DS losing slower than the RNY folks. Another positive for the DS is that it has more effective excess weight loss percentage and a much higher maintenance of weight loss statistics than the RNY. Wishing you the best with finding the procedure that is best suited to you. Let us know if you have other questions.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2001 Report Share Posted June 17, 2001 Kris, I just realized what close neighbors we are. I live in Lexington, Ky. I am just beginning the process of trying to decide on a doctor. Congratulations on your great loss.
