Dr. Keith Kim does not do DS

After posting for infor on Dr. Keith Kim his receptionist called me to tell me he does not do DS anymore so therefore my consult was cancelled.

P.S.  I really wonder why he does not do DS anymore? hum?

He has not done the DS for a number of years.  The only reliable lists of vetted DS surgeons are found at either DSfacts.com or duodenalswitch.com

Dr. Overcash does the DS> I'm looking into see if he is a Center of Excellence. beacause I have medicare. He is in the Villiage. Ladylake Fl.

Yes he is a COE surgeon and his facility of use Munroe is also a COE certified facility.  His insurance person however is not up on Medicare coverage.

As far as I know there are no surgeons in FL that do the DS. I just traveled to TX to have mine done. Good luck to you.

Hi Storm
I have found 3 that do DS and revision to DS in Florida.  Dr. Mirman, Dr. Hoddinott, Dr. Overcash.  I did have a consult with Dr. Overcash and I personal message with one of his DS patients that is 2 years post-op and very happy with her results.  However I would like to speak with more than one of his DS pts before making a solid decision.  After I get my stress test done, Dr. Overcash will put me on the surgery schedule for my revision from lap band to DS.  I am still on the fence with this.  I really like Dr. Husted and it looks like I might be staying with him and waiting for his COE certificate.

I like you, will have some travel time approx 18-hours to have my DS with Dr. Husted.

I originally considered Dr. Overcash for a RNY. That was before I learned of the DS. I am not familiar with the other 2 md's. This is just my opinion, but, a revision is the most risky of all WLS. If I were you I would want the most experienced of surgeons. Of the surgeons you are considering Dr Husted would definately be my choice. Again, just my opinion. Good luck in your decision.
