Guest guest Posted August 10, 2001 Report Share Posted August 10, 2001 I was scheduled to have RNY surgery on 9/7/01 but after more research I decided to tell the doctor that I was not happy about it and wanted to have the duodenal switch method. He said that he's not sure that I am a good candidate for the DS, due to the fact that I had a colon resection in the past(20years). He mentioned that DS patients have substantial diarrhea after surgery, with 4-6 bowel movements per day and I could probably expect to have substantially worsened diarrhea postop. We will speak more next week. I have spoken to other specialists and they say that RNY is the way to go. I don't want to be pressured into a WLS surgery I don't want. Right now, I'm so depressed..I dont know if I will have the surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
