Hi,

I had the Duodenal Switch almost 6 years ago.

It's nice to meet everyone.:yes:

Hi and welcome to the site. 6 years post-op wow!
How have you done? Have you kept the weight off?

Yep. I work hard at it. Pretty much protein, protein, protein & then some junk once a week.

Plus, of course, as a DSer -- a ton of vits/minerals/iron a day.

I have some links I could prob. put up (as my signature) that would tell my story more fully & show the pics I took every 3 mos. for the first year & now take yearly on my anniversary in April.

Thanks for the nice welcome. http://clicksmilies.com/s1106/mini/small-smiley-006.gif. Hope it's going well for you, too.

And yeah - things are going relatively well for me. Thanks for asking!

Kinda fell off the wagon a little bit over the holidays. I think it's been a bit of a wakeup call for me hopefully. Because WLS is a tool. You can use it or abuse it and it seemed like through the November and December months - I kinda chose to abuse it :( --- Trying to get back on track again though - I've lost over 170 pounds thus far and will be happy to maintain my current weight. Perhaps with a little bit of exercise and sticking to the good habits, I'll see even more weightloss.

Congrats on your success thus far - you're an inspiration!
