RE: DSer that is five years or more post op?

[Guest guest]

The DS site has a " patients by date " page, but there are few over two years

out -- I agree with 's reasoning on why.

http://www.duodenalswitch.com/Patients/By_Date/by_date.html

The most-followed series is Dr. Hess' reported group. Dr. Rabkin made

reference to Hess' series at one meeting, stating that since his patients

are Ohioans, they are less transient than the population here in the SF bay

area and thus easier to maintain contact with. So, I think you really can

look at the charts and tables in the Hess report and get a solid sense of

what to expect over the long-term. These people are faring well!

Go to this page and click the " Follow up " link in the index:

I highly recommend that everyone read this report carefully. There is lots

of good info in this report!!!
