Guest guest Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Vicki - I had 4 prior WL surgeries (this was my fifth).... as such, my surgery was open.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Vicki - I am revision patient - I was gaining weight from prior failed surgeries. Rather than wait until my BMI was 40 or more, I was looking at having surgery when I was smaller, and in better health, as I was clearly gaining each year. I will likely loose less than a person starting out with the DS as a first timer. I dont know if I will loose slower. I have noticed that other revision patients with more to loose do loose slower than a first time DS person. Dr. K has estimated that I will loose between 50-60lbs which would put me at 150-160 lbs. Whereas my ideal weight is probably in the 130's. Believe me if I end up stable in the 150-160 range I will be thrilled after all I have been through.
