I also posted this on the main board, but I saw a couple of people here looking for DS surgeons who are having a little difficulty.  Before you settle for another surgery, check out these links of the success rates of the different surgies.  If you decide you want something else, that is fine, but at least you will be well informed!


If you are contemplating WLS and am curious as to what the success rates are, look no further. Check out these two links:

The first link is a very comprehensive study and is a great resource for those who suffer from comorbids and are interested in more than just losing weight. The success rates can be found on page 10, table 4. It is a study by the AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF CLINICAL ENDOCRINOLOGISTS,THE OBESITY SOCIETY, AND AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR METABOLIC & BARIATRIC SURGERY.

The second link is information provided by Dr. Ara Keshishian, a very well respected DS surgeon.

I thank Nicolle and Yehuda for the links!!!!
