This is my last post and then I will take my leave. DSers, if you are wanting to create a forum that is exclusive to only DSers then keep on doing what you have been doing. Continue to bombard everyone else with why they are not thinking logically and are being duped into considering any other...

Lord above! Thank you! I have expressed again and again that I am not going into this decision blindly, that I have researched extensively each of my options and I am not using a bait and switch surgeon but for some reason this does not get through. I really appreciate you sticking your neck out...

But what about these FB pages you spoke about? Would I also be one there?

Well then I am glad that you and others now have a place where you can go. I truely am. I too am trying to find a place where I can go and not feel like I have to defend my intellect, my mettle or my personal choices everytime I want to ask a question. I need to find somewhere that I can give...

I have noticed that not a single SADI/SIPS patient has responded to my request for input. I have my own ideas about why that is. I would like to hear why you think this is so?

Thank you, I wish you all the best as well. And it is not the message, I have no problem with disagreement or debate, it is the close-minded, repetitive monologues that are devoid of any chance for give and take and are pointless wastes of time.

I do believe you just made my point for me.

I appreciate what you are saying but... I already know that this is a new procedure that does not come with iron clad results, and I have been researching all procedures and have acquired quite alot of knowledge along the way, and I am not going to a surgeon that is claiming it is anything other...

I am sad for you.

I appreciate your supportive and caring response. I will absolutely be diligent about suppliments and everything else. I plan to use vitalady. I have learned that there is a lot the doctors just don't know and I will be my own advocate. It is clear that I will not be able to have any kind of a...

I absolutely will. Thank you hilary1617.

I have been doing research since March which I believe is a prudent amount of time to spend and could in no way be misconstrued as rushing into this. I asked for opinions of others who have actually had the SADI-S. Please be respectful of my request.

I asked for others that had the SADI-S to respond. Please be respectful of my request.

Hi everyone, This is a question for those who have had the SADI/SIPS. I recently learned that the surgeon I most likely will be using does the SADI-S surgery and I have a consult with him to discuss this surgery in early August. Is there anything specific to this particular surgery that you...

Thanks Larra. I wish you every success as well :)

Yes the thought is scary. It is also impractical and for my situation undoable. I do not believe I am compromising my medical care nor do I feel like a coward for choosing not to travel great distances for wls. I understand that you feel DS is the only surgery that works and I agree that it...

I appreciate your concern and all your alternative suggestions. I am not comfortable with having a surgery so far away from where I live. As it is I am traveling an hour and a half away and am somewhat worried that this is too far. But thank you for everything. You've been great.

I am self-pay.

I stand corrected.

Well, I could not stand the suspense any longer and called the bariatric center where I will be having my surgery and it turns out that they do not offer the traditional DS but the SADI. I do not have anymore information than this. I have scheduled an appt for early August to duscuss in more detail.
