Guest guest Posted June 24, 2001 Report Share Posted June 24, 2001 Hi all. An interesting point that many people considering the DS say is that they are afraid of stinky bowel movements and gas. I guess that could be a major problem although most of us know someone who hasn't had WLS that is pretty fruitful just naturally. I'd be much more concerned about the tiny bits of food you can eat as an RNY and the likeliehood of a blockage requiring surgery. Now THAT scares me. I've talked to a lot of RNY post ops and they too often talk about how bad their diahreah (sp) gets and how bad their gas smells. So it is NOT limited to the DS. I would not make that a determining factor in your surgery choice. blessings~ becki ===== Becki, near Portland, OR BMI 50-ish, age 42 pre-op DS. hoping to get approval through Aetna Traditional Choice (fighting 'investigational' denial) Consulted with Dr. on 3-13-01 psych ok, nutrition ok, beckeye_58@... __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
