Hi
I am back in the online support group land looking for info, advice and opinions. I had a VGS in 2014. I did well with it at first but plateaued before reaching my goal weight. I maintained for about another year but when my mother got sick last summer I gave up on diet and exercise and went back to some bad habits. We lost her a week before Christmas and I never got myself together with the diet and exercicse and now am 1/3 of the way back to fatville. I'm not going back! I am working out again and am reeling in the bad eating. I went to see my doctor because I have been having a lot of reflux and regurgitation especially if I lay down soon after drinking something. I was hoping for a sleeve revision but my doctor suggests a "completion" and going from the sleeve to a DS.
This was a bigger answer from him than I was expecting. I would love to hear all of your stories and experiences about the DS lifestyle and diet as well as the post-op days.
