    op report

    I'm doing okay :( I'm absolutely floored by the support that some people of the DS world are giving me about this. I'm still digesting the fact that I thought I had a DS for 2 years and just now realized my guts are completely different. I just got a full panel of labs done 8 days ago and I'm...

    op report

    Hello all! Long story short- i have suspicions that I may have received a SADI instead of a DS without my consent. I got my medical report in the mail today and was wondering if there was anyone on here comfortable translating the medical terminology with me. I feel like i'm reading a foreign...

    Were You Given a Surgery to Which You Did Not Consent?

    Thanks Becky... I will post my info here if I confirm i didn't receive a true DS. In the mean time I will try to educate myself on how to read the op reports.

    My experience with Dr. David Kim

    Hey guys! I just wanted to give my 100% honest experience of having my DS surgery with Dr. David Kim in Colleyville, TX. I want to make clear that I am not "pro-Dr Kim" nor am I "anti-Dr Kim". I just want to get my story out there for people researching surgeons in the DFW area. My story...

    Elizabeth, I didn't mean to cause a fuss. The admin recommend I "ignore" PS and I didn't know that meant I couldn't see her posts anymore. So when I went back to that thread, I thought she had deleted her posts, so I figured I should too to be fair. Had no idea hers were still up :/ Sorry again...

    Burgers

    My husband and I just bought our first house, and the first thing I want to get is a grill : ) Living in apartments forever made me never able to own one and I can't wait to start grilling meats and BBQ

    Protein Snob: I wasn't trying to be closed minded, I was just trying to explain that Dr. Kim is frequently doing Duodenal Switches now. I'm sorry if it came off that way. Rebekah Fenner is a friend of mine from the Facebook OH group who just had her (and her husband's) DS done with Dr. Kim. I'm...

    First "educational" DS class

    Sheanie: It's whey protein isolate. I didn't buy the vitamins. They recommended them, but I knew better. Especially when she said "These are ADEK multi-vites so you don't have to take separate supplements". ...OMG! I plan to drink his drinks for the 3 weeks pre-op, but I'm going to go my own way...

    First "educational" DS class

    I agree. I would have made a fuss about having to buy the 3 giant tubs of BariEssentials protein shakes, but they were actually pretty tasty. I was surprised.

    First "educational" DS class

    I posted this on OH, as well: So today I had my first educational NUT class. I was expecting it to be a lot worse than it actually was! The class was made up entirely of DS patients (2 revision to DSers) which was nice. The educational paperwork was also geared toward the DS life, as apposed to...
