saw the surgeon and the decision is made

It's a DS! Had the NUT consult and everything. So glad to get this party started.

Congratulations!

 

Good for you! You're gonna LOVE your DS! Have you checked out any of the FB DS groups?

Congrats! Now the wait begins. Good luck on insurance approval (if going that route). Hope you get a surgery date very soon!

Congratulations. I read on another post that this is what you were hoping for!

Yeah, I was vacillating between the DS and the sleeve. After talking to the surgeon today, he really recommended the DS to treat my high triglycerides and type 2 diabetes. I'm not even all that heavy, relatively speaking. I have about 100-lbs to lose.  But my cholesterol and triglycerides have been high ever since they started checking it, umpteen years ago. And even WITH meds, I can't get it under control. I will be very happy if I can just get off the CPAP and reverse the insulin resistance. And I very much hope my knees and feet will get a break.

Wahoo!  You are on your way to an amazing transformation; especially medically - and I can't wait for you to share your results with us - congratulations big time

Congrats! Excited for you. I'm headed that way too my surgery is scheduled for oct 9th

Good luck to you!  It's probably the most successful surgical option.  You're at the start of a whole new life.

Congrats! Good Luck. Keep us posted.
