Guest guest Posted October 25, 2001 Report Share Posted October 25, 2001 hi all, had my orientation session with dr. buchwald in minneapolis, minnestota yesterday. i have been doing lots of reading here about the ds procedure and had it in my head that that's the surgery i wanted, from my research i knew that dr. buchwald does this procedure. when we had the orientation the only procedures talked about were the vbg and the gastric bypass. when i had my one on one with him i asked about ds and he said he does it, would do it, but one has to be very committed to protein intake and liver biopsies (?). so i have a couple questions, from what i've read this seems like a great procedure, so i'm wondering why dr. buchwald wouldn't mention it during his orientation sessions? also, is it difficult to get in the required amount of protein everyday? what supplements do you post-ops take every day? what is the average cost? has anyone had any liver problems? thank you all for any help or information you can give me,,i really appreciate it!!!!! julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
