My experience with the SADI

DS on 03/05/13
I believe I was given the SADI instead of a full DS,by Dr. Ponce de Leon. When I. Had what I had requested to. Be a DS,I had never heard or seen anything about a SADI.
I asked him before the surgery,about the lengths of common channel,etc and he said through translation "I am just going to plug it right in" .having never heard of the SADI,I didn't know enough to ask what do you mean?
surgery went fine,got home and started on the typical high protein/fat diet. I lost 12 lbs and then the loss completely stopped,even though I was WELL on plan,nearly no carbs.
I began seeing /reading about the SAID and after seeing the diagrams and the descriptions of it, and putting two and two together,with his "plug it in "comment,I came to the conclusion that is what I was given.
That was in March 2013. End of 2014, I begin having,what I thought was an increase in acid reflux. Had an EGD an upper GI and a barium swallow and after providing my gastro with the best info/diagram of the SADI,and seeing the X-rays,he said it is a single anastomoses procedure,very much like the BIlLROTH II procedure.
One of the side effects of the BIlLROTH II,is BILE reflux and he did see bile staining in my sleeve/intestines. That is what is now reflux ing along with the acid;bile. Great. He gave me Questran,which binds up
the bile and removes it and that is a God send.
I do have many things that happen as with. The true DS:stinky gas and poops with carbs and sugar. I also mal absorb medication. In December,I became so anemic,I had to have a blood transfusion and two rounds of iron infusions.
I have also developed another hiatal hernia. If /when it becomes problematic enough to get it repaired,I plan to consult Dr. Ungson in Mexicalli about the possibility of revising the SADI to a full DS. I would like very much to get rid of the bile reflux and lost the additional 50# I wanted to. Lose when I had what I thought was a DS in 2013.
Someone who is tetchy,please feel free to save this post somewhere and pull it out to post when someone asks about the SADI. I am very untechy.
