Guest guest Posted October 19, 2001 Report Share Posted October 19, 2001 Lisbeth, For what it is worth I checked out the ossg-hungry group and serached for any mention of the DS. I only found a couple of accounts of weight regain, one with BPD only (Sharon, a 10 year veterun) and one BPD/DS. I think each regained about 30 lbs. The one person who had the BPD/DS and regained admited that she was eating tons of sugar. On the other hand I found a posting of an RNY person who regained, was revised to DS and succeded. I have yet to hear of any DS patient being revised to RNY and succeding. Food for thought (so to speak) Hull > > Dawn, > > That is a good point you raised. Some people need to gain some weight because they may feel they lost to much to begin with. This woman on the other hand was telling the pre-ops that basically with ANY WLS you would have a bounce back of anywhere up to 45 lbs, which I happen to think is an outrageous amount. I will see what I learn....I just wish someone who is over a year post op would join the Graduates-OSSG list and found out how many have had the DS and the amount of weight regain...I joined the group but because I am not a year post-op I can not post to the group or to its members....But until then I will continue to dig! > > Lisbeth > > > > Also make sure they are talking about the BPD/DS and not the standard BPD > which does not have a restrictive component. > > Also I think it is important to talk in terms of % regain.
