While I struggled on what surgery to get, I am so grateful that I ended up doing the SADI/LOOP Duodenal Switch. For me, I needed more than the restriction of food, but also something to help me when I made poor choices.

I just found your channel over the weekend and I must say that you have helped me tremendously... I am having the sleeve in 2 days and I got a lot of information from you, that no one has ever spoken about....I really appreciate your channel and your information... I must say that you really look good.

Patrice Hanes That means so much to me! I’m so happy to help. Honestly, I wanted to explain as much as possible of what I had experienced that no one talked about so seriously it means so much to hear you say that. Thank you!!! Good luck on your adventure- it will be worth it. Also, thank you for your kind compliments. It’s tough to keep going but I’m sticking to it. Thank you!

I love My Fitness Pal! It has really helped me understand what calories I am eating. I had the same surgery on 12/11/17 and I am very grateful for this tool!

I just wanted to say thank you!!! I got cleared for my surgery and want the duodenal switch but was so scared because you don't see much videos on here. I went through Cancer and I am a year and a half free now. I have struggled with weight and am just looking for a fresh start. I can't wait to start my journey

Jessielee Rodriguez I’m so happy. A fresh start is what you will get. I’m proud of your decision to change your life for the better- by the sound of it, you deserve it.

@@GinaMarieUT I've seen a few videos with ppl having tubes after. What is that? Did you have a tube left in?

@GinaMarieUT 4 жыл бұрын

Jessielee Rodriguez It’s only temporary. Some surgeons use that method and some don’t. They remove them before you leave the hospital. I think it releases any excess liquid that may have been used during the surgery. I’m guessing if they had to use water or saline to clear/clean the areas they were working on but I’m not sure. Many people have tubes when they do certain plastic surgeries as well.

Wow! 900 to 1100 calories sound like a lot to me. I am supposed to be, according to my clinic, between 800 to 1000 calories but it is a rare day that I hit 800 even. Right now, basically around 700. I just don't get hungry very often. The longer you don't drink diet sodas, the easier it gets. I had given them up for about 6 months when I started the bariatric program already and now, I see them in the cooler and there is no draw at all. Those NSVs will become more and more frequent and they are so much fun!

Thank you for all of your advice and tips. I appreciate it! I was originally was told 800 calories but I got too much in so they told me 800-1100 and I've been getting in 900-1100, which has really helped me not plateau. I am definitely trying to stay away from soda for sure but it's been better than I expected.

You look great and sound great. Are you drinking premier shakes ? I’m having trouble getting in protein shakes I been having a lil rough time but I think my issue might be my fibromyalgia. I have been at a plateau bc of body starvation mode. I am finally trying to eat atleast 3 times a day.

@GinaMarieUT 6 жыл бұрын

YES. I do the Premier Protein Shakes and it helps get that protein in. I've actually been nervous that my body was going to go in starvation mode, because it's done that quite a bit on me. Keep me posted on how you are doing!

Have you experienced an episode of dumping syndrome?

@GinaMarieUT 3 жыл бұрын

Great question and the answer is No! Not with the surgery I got. I know dumping syndrome can definitely help steer you away from those foods that cause that and sometime I wonder if that would be helpful but with doing the Loop DS, I have not experienced that. I hear it’s pretty common with the gastric bypass surgery.

Dear Sistar🌟May I ask your height and your final goal weight? I am 5'10" and not sure what I should go down to. Thank you🙏

@GinaMarieUT 3 жыл бұрын

My height is 5’6” and I’m at 223 right now- but I’m still trying to get under 200. I do hold my weight well and have more muscle to weight- but I’d love to lose more.

How I finished a 2 week clear liquid diet for my weight loss surgery!
