Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Considering traveling up to DE for the procedure if I get a good referral for a doctor and hospital.

Sorry - no DS surgeons in DE.  The closest you'll get to MD are Dr. Elarainy in Woodbridge, VA; Dr. Peters in Scranton, PA; and Dr. Greenbaum in Willingboro, NJ.  If you'd drive up to NYC, though, you'll find a bunch of them there!  I live in Wilmington and went to NYC for my DS 3 years ago.

Also, you could check www.dsfacts.com and www.duodenalswitch.com for qualified DS surgeons.  There used to be one at Johns Hopkins, but he's no longer doing a full DS - he'll do the VSG first and then do the DS as a revision.  It doesn't offer the same weight loss, and it's twice you have to go under anesthesia.
