Guest guest Posted June 19, 2001 Report Share Posted June 19, 2001 I am fairly new to this group... I have been doing my research since February and very excited to say that my surgery is scheduled for July 23rd. Some of the reasons why I chose the DS surgery is the larger eating capacity. It's a bit more normal... to eat a banana sized amount rather than golf ball. No stoma... the way the intestine is moved up in the RNY requiring that you chew the dickens out of your food. As well as the long term excessive weight loss... I've read varying information on the level of malaborpstion. But, I'm just so tickled I was approved... I had the incorrect impression or rather assumption that this was the more appropriate surgery for heavier people... I'm a lightweight... BMI of 45ish... so I am thrilled. I would really love to hear from some post ops... I've heard that you can drink with your meals with DS? There is no dumping so you are limited in what you can eat? Please clue me in to some post-op meals... THanks. Lee Anne Krause Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
