    Confused what I should do!? DS or Loop

    Lol wow don’t blow a gasket! These people with the backpack are on fb in local DS groups, a lady actually just commented in my sips (now MDS) group that she wants the revision. If the “King of DS surgeries” here in Tx was wanting to do the Modified DS on me and he had faith that it would rid my...

    Confused what I should do!? DS or Loop

    People choose SADI or MDS (Modified DS) over Traditional DS because of the malabsorption issues DS patients have and the surgery itself is so complex. I have seen so many people that have had the DS and want to do a revision to the MDS. I am not willing to take the risk of wearing a backpack...

    Anyone in Dallas/Ft Worth use Dr Alibhai or Dr Matin for their DS? If not who did u use in Texas?

    But I can’t afford the part I have to pay since he doesn’t take my secondary insurance. I have found a surgeon that takes both and I won’t pay anything

    DS or SIPS

    I have just been seeing a lot of negativity in these DS groups with people getting really sick! Freaking me out.. and if 2 years out our results are the same common sense would tell me to go with the safer surgery! Not the malabsorption issues

    Confused what I should do!? DS or Loop

    HEllo, thanks for all your help! So, do you think it’s stupid to go with these other 2 doctors that are close to me. Dr matin has been in practice 18 years and is chief of surgery at Baylor grapevine, so I am sure he’s a great surgeon. He is known for his sleeve surgery. I just wish I could find...

    Hello, I decided to go with the DS, I just don’t like thee “unknown” long term with sips, and I want the surgery with the best odds of resolving my diabetes.

    Confused what I should do!? DS or Loop
