If you've not decided yet, then this is a great place to find

information. I lurked here for quite awhile before making my wls

decision, just reading what everyone else had to say, and posting

questions every now and then.

I chose the DS over RNY because I enjoy food. I like myself and

wouldn't want to punish myself long term by restricting what I could

eat - that would make me miserable. I have also suffered through

bulimia and know that I absolutely don't want to " dump " as a way to

control myself. In addition, I realized that my relationship with my

husband and family has alot to do with food. We enjoy cooking and

eating together and it's not something that I really want to change.

Food is a good thing, a sensual thing, something we HAVE to do in

order to live. I didn't want to give it up. The DS allows me to eat

what I want, just in smaller portions. At almost 3 weeks post op I

don't feel deprived of anything, and have been able to have the same

meals as the rest of my family - just in smaller portions!
