    Woke up with Sleeve and no DS! Help!

    This heartburn truly sucks though! And the burping feeling in my chest and throat is back, exactly like it was when my band was filled, which he also removed yesterday. Waking up choking with an acid taste on the back of your throat is not cool! So grateful I only have to wait three months...

    Woke up with Sleeve and no DS! Help!

    Wow, so many supportive responses. I've been in and out of consciousness all day so am just now seeing this. I have never been one to resist posting my doctor and I will. But first, let me explain my conversation with him today. I couldn't talk to him when he was here yesterday because I was in...

    Woke up with Sleeve and no DS! Help!

    I've been doing all the research on the DS and then my doctor stopped after removing my lapband and doing the sleeve. I was in so much intense cry out loud general anesthesia nausea and back pain that I couldn't hear anything he was saying. He'll come by at point today, but not sure when. I WILL...

    Yeah, I need to clarify. I hope that's what he meant and not 250 common channel.

    DS CC length

    My doctor gave me two numbers. He said he does a 100 and 150 common channel, a total 250. Not good, huh?

    What is a down side of having DS?

    So this is discouraging because this thread really looked interesting to me until it went crazy. I wanted more responses to the original question.

    SADI-S / Loop - Please share facts about this new procedure here.

    Oh I see. Someone had made it sound like it was somewhere else so I really hadn't looked through these pages. This seemed like more of a traditional DS support page so I didn't know if this would be the place to learn about the SADI.....in case it turns out it's my only option bc my insurance...

    Desperate and hopeless

    Agreed on all counts! I think I have the courage to ask now. I'm going to wait for the official denial first though. Who knows, maybe my story will be different than every other person out there with Tricare and they will approve me for a revision to DS even though I got the band out of the...
