Hi! I’m considering a revision from gastric bypass to the duodenal switch. I had my gastric bypass in 2013, and now I’m trying to gather as much information as possible to make an informed decision. Do you have any recommendations for resources, research, or TH-cam channels where I can learn more? Thanks so much.

How are you doing now?

Hi Amy, im not sure if u still open this channel but I just want to let you know you’re helping me a lot with encouragement. Thank you and I hope you’re doing well. Ps I hope u make new vid ❤

Congratulations!!!

The energy is a big problem at 5 weeks. Tender stomach also.

Your videos are giving me a great deal of comfort.

This is so helpful. I am experiencing some of the things you did.

Loved this little Q& A series! I know they’re old but still awesome info. Would love a check in video!!!

Do you ever think of coming back to TH-cam? Maybe some “what I eat in a day” videos, or some detailed vitamin regimen videos now that you’re a veteran DS’er.

I know these videos are older now, but I think you have one of THE best DS channels out there. And I’ve watched MANNNNNY!! You’re very articulate and provide wonderful information. I hope you’re still seeing great success with your maintenance AND your lab values.

44!! Woman I was sitting here trying to guess your age I thought you were mid 30's

Hey! How are you these days? Thank you for sharing your journey!

Hi! I am new to watching you. I wanted to know if you had a ds or sips?

Hey Amy re watching this!! I get inspired every time I watch any of your videos! I hope all is well with you! Please do amother update soon! Xoxo

Hey Amy, I watched your entire saga! WOW happy to see you back. How are you doing now and did you get your plastics? I would love to see an update, hope all is well with you today. Im getting a DS! .. waiting for the date, your videos have helped me alot!.. Love your saying " there are dragons down there" expression..

How are you doing now? I had the DS in Dec 2018. We had similar starting weights. I got a lot from your videos and I hope you’re doing well.

Hey girly I’m currently on 9 days post op , just started soft foods yesterday & honestly it’s been kind of horrible I can’t keep any food down without throwing up constantly did you have this issue ? And if so what helped

Omg I miss seeing you! Does anyone know where Amy is? Would love to hear how your health is and if you ever got plastics? Your videos have been a great resource!! Xoxo

I just found your channel and binge watched it all! S I have learnt so much from your experiences. I hope all is well with you and I wish you would come back and do an update on where your journey has taken you now. Would be such a great Xmas gift to me as I suspect everyone else whos be following you 🙂

Please post a new video to let us know how you are doing 😁

How are you doing would love a update video of you!!🥰

How are you doing now would love an update!🥰

Hi! I just binged your entire channel and was really hoping for a recent video. So many DSers vanish and it’s super scary as someone about to have this surgery. How are you doing these days? Thank you for sharing what you have, so much of what you talk about really resonated with me. Some on a very deep level.

Please do an update I love your videos

I like how you included week to week that really helps the newbies like me. I actually had the same weight like you had in the begging and I have lost similar weight this week as you. I have a question I’m sorry if it seems inappropriate but did you have hard stool at this time.

You just answered my question on this video. Thank you for having this videos They really helping me before I have my DS on Monday with Dr. Bovard

Did you have surgery at nc bariatric specialist of nc. It sounds like it. I’m having DS on Monday.

What was your common channel length

Thank you for all of the info, it is very brave of you. I am getting the DS Dec. 4 2018.

How where your labs? Please update us.

I see you got the DS for the same reason I did -- how is the diabetes management three years out?

Hey Girl, where are you??? Have not had any updates from you in a long while....anything happening with your plastic surgery needs yet?

Do you have acid reflux? If so was it worse after ds?

I hear you about the change and seeing some but not others.

You look great

So glad to see an update from you, you were one of the first DS TH-camrs that I found prior to making my surgery decision. Sorry to hear about the SIBO, glad you got it cleared up. This surgery wreaks such havoc with our digestion and gas levels, it could be tough to realize very early that there's something more going on. I think your story will be a good one for all of us to heed.

Hi Amy, so nice to see you. I am sorry you have been suffereing with such stomach problems, but happy you found solutions to them and are will to share your story to help us realize what things can pop up for DS'rs and educate us on these issues and offer the knowledge of how to fix them. My dr. said no to probioatics when I asked if I need to take them. He feels the right foods should provide what we need. however, if any issues do come up I will ask about them again. Please, once again, I will say, Yes to your sharing some cooking videos with us. I look forward to seeing them. It is always good to see how others cook and eat and have optional ways to prepare foods to change things up a bit. Please do video them. Looking forward to them. Hugs!!

So glad you are back! Looking forward to recipes! Thank you for sharing about your GI issues. I have been experiencing some of the same (much less painful, though) as you. I am about 18 months out and now wonder if I am dealing with the same issue.

You look great and healthy. Happy to hear you are now well. thanks for sharing what you went through. i'm sure it will help many peeps and i will definitely keep it in mind should i experience similar!

Glad you’re on the mend and on the upswing.

Scary stomach issue. I am finding I am getting ridiculously gassy even when my carbs are really low. When I get to moderately low forget it, horrid gas. It’s getting worse as I get farther out. I’m almost at a year out and when I eat something I should not I expect consequences but if I am eating well I am still having these horrid gassy issues. The smell is straight up foul and embarrassing. I’m very frustrated. I see my surgeon next week for my one year and plan on discussing it but thought you might have some insight. I was never told to take a probiotic, could that be the problem?

Hi so glad to see a video from you! I'm happy you sorted out your stomach issue. That sounds scary!

Good to see you back Amy. Happy Valentine's! 😊

I've really enjoyed your videos! Hope all is well! My DS is in a week and a half, really excited. Your videos have been really helpful, so thanks for taking the time!
