My name is Kim and I had DS surgery on July 11, 2016...so just a newbie. I am currently on soft foods. So far I am doing great. Hydration, protein, and vitamins. I am learning that the medical community doesn't really know much about how to care for someone who has had a DS and it's very frustrating. I'm here to learn.

Welcome!
Every once in a while I think I get a doc that knows what the DS is, but they then start talking gastric bypass stuff, or worse, confuse it with the old BPD, which was a horrible surgery. Instead, I found a regular physician that knew little about he DS, but she was game to learn, and has been wonderful. She is who orders my annual labs, and has been happy to learn and watch my progress.
This is a helpful group to learn from, and many of us would be up a creek without groups like this.
