Suzanne, Congratulations on getting switched! A few things I wish I knew before DS surgery: Recovery is very individual, but I kept listening to the LAP RNY'ers and thinking my recovery would be like theirs. Open DS is ALOT more invasive- it is a longer procedure and the bypass is distal- so recovery will take longer. Expect to have an altered appetite and taste- This will happen until all of the anesthesia is out of your system (up to 3 months- But you will know when it's gone!) Expect to have low energy for awhile- but this varies from person to person. Expect pain- BUT DEMAND pain management from you nursing staff. Have your family advocate for you- Hospitals are horribly over-staffed and sometimes it takes another voice. Also NO one told me this- but DS'ers plateau more often and earlier than RNY'ers. Don't let it alarm you. Please follow you surgeon's program for vitamins and supplements- They are essential for the rest of your life!
