Try Dr. Adam Naaman in Houston. He does revisions. I had surgery with
Dr. Wongsa also 6 months ago. Just curious if you talked to Wongsa about a
revision and what his response was?

Rebecca, your profile says that in April 2004, you weighed 193. Is that
right? I suspect either a typo with this question or on your profile. I am
sorry I can't help with your actual question, but I was concerned if you've
gained that much weight in such a short time. Shelley

Dr. Wilson does revisions. He was speaking today on revisions at the
Houston support group meeting. I didn't go but you can ask or read about
it at HWLSSG yahoo group.
He did dh's surgery this past Dec. and Wongsa did mine 12/01. Best
wishes...

Rebecca,
Are you looking for a conversion from one type of WLS to another? (I.e.,
RNY to DS) or are you seeking a revision to your original WLS? There are
several Yahoo groups that deal with these topics that may be of help to
you, too.
Blessings,

Rebecca,
Are you sure that everything is OK with your pouch? Even though you are
transected you can develop fistulas between your pouch and your stomach so
food would be gettin to your stomach and you would be able to eat more. If
you haven't already done so you should see a gastroenterologist to have
your pouch scoped to make sure that the mechanics of your surgery are
intact. Dr. Pedro Arguello scoped my pouch about a month ago. He's in the
Memorial City area and is very familiar with RNY surgery. You also call Dr.
Wsonga's office for a referral. Getting scoped is the first step though if
you think you may need a revision.
