I know of one lady who occasionally posts to the WLS Divas thread (under the D&E buddies forum) who had the DS and I know of one lady IRL who's had it done. I know that with the DS you'll be able to eat more quantity of food than I can (I had RNY) but you'll also absorb less nutrients and will have to take more vitamins as there is more bypassed than with the RNY. According to my surgeon the DS has the highest risk of long term nutritional deficiencies which is why he does not do it. Anyway as far as the diabetes and IR goes I'm not entirely sure how it does with the DS. If you'd like my experience with IR/Diabetes and RNY I'd be happy to answer. Good luck in your WLS journey!!
