    welcome, I hope you enjoy our group and make some great support friends. I had never heard of a dual denal switch so I goggled it and still came up empty, could you explain what that is? My own WLS was on 5-15, I had the RNY bypass, so I'm still eating softs and liquids, I definitely understand trying to drink enough since I just don't feel thirsty like I use to even after I exercise.

    Try "duodenal switch"

    Welcome. I had RNY in 2008. Please be sure to take all your vitamins and get your labs checked regularly. Too many DSers I know do not do that and then suffer severe consequences.

    Welcome,
    You meet lots of great people who will help you through this journey you are. I had the RNY on March 13, 2012 and since the surgery I have lost 43 lbs, but have lost 73 lbs overall. It is a daily learning process. I wish you much success.

    Welcome, I have just been here a day myself, but I had the RNY after having a failed band. I know lots of DS'ers that post on obesity help.com . Definitively not trying to run you off but think you may find more of the type of surgery you had there. Please continue to check in here, too though.

    thanks I found it, looks even more complicated than the RNY.

    So great tomeet you :) I had RNY on 4/4/12. They say the first few months of any WLS is tough so I am right there with you :) I have this site to be really helpful, especially in tracking my protein intake. I am trying to get as much protein from actual food as I can now, but I do still drink at least one shake a day usually. Best of luck to you!
