I had my original DS surgery with Dr. Michael Schweitzer 4/2009. My start weight was 300 with a bmi of 50. I lost down to about 162 very, very slowly. I’ve been struggling with regain the last few years and have regained to 230 lbs.
I know that my DS is not like others. I had an EGD that showed that my sleeve was not truly a sleeve- most of the greater curvature is still there. I also suspect that my common channel length is more than what the surgical report stated (100cm). I’ve never had much malabsorption. I have not had to supplement like most DS’ers do. I have very little side effects with carbs, etc
I have a revision surgery scheduled with Dr. Rezvani on 11/19/2024. I plan to have a large hiatal hernia repaired, partial gastrectomy to correct to a more typical VSG, and he plans to measure my common channel and revise if it is uncommonly long.
